Nonlinear Dirac equations on noncompact quantum graphs with potentials: Multiplicity and Concentration
Abstract
In this paper, we study the existence and multiplicity of solutions to the following class of nonlinear Dirac equations (NLDE) on noncompact quantum graphs: \[ -i\,\varepsilon c\,\sigma_1\,\partial_x u + m c^2 \sigma_3 u + V(x)\,u = f(|u|)\,u, \quad x\in \mathcal{G}, \tag{P} \] where \(V:\mathcal{G}\to\mathbb{R}\) and \(f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}\) are continuous, \(\varepsilon>0\) is a semiclassical parameter, \(m>0\) denotes the mass, and \(c>0\) the speed of light. Here \(\sigma_1,\sigma_3\) are Pauli matrices, and \(\mathcal{G}\) is a noncompact quantum graph. We prove that when \(\varepsilon\) is sufficiently small, the number of solutions to \((P)\) is at least the number of global minima of \(V\). Moreover, these solutions exhibit semiclassical concentration: as \(\varepsilon\to0\), their concentration points approach the set of global minima of \(V\).
