Normalized solutions for a system of coupled cubic Schr\"odinger equations on $\mathbb{R}^3$

Abstract

We consider the system of coupled elliptic equations \[ \begin{cases} -\Delta u - \lambda_1 u = \mu_1 u^3+ \beta u v^2 \\ -\Delta v- \lambda_2 v = \mu_2 v^3 +\beta u^2 v \end{cases} \text{in $\mathbb{R}^3$}, \] and study the existence of positive solutions satisfying the additional condition \[ \int_{\mathbb{R}^3} u^2 = a_1^2 \quad \text{and} \quad \int_{\mathbb{R}^3} v^2 = a_2^2. \] Assuming that $a_1,a_2,\mu_1,\mu_2$ are positive fixed quantities, we prove existence results for different ranges of the coupling parameter $\beta>0$. The extension to systems with an arbitrary number of components is discussed, as well as the orbital stability of the corresponding standing waves for the related Schr\"odinger systems.
