Existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for fractional Laplacian systems with nonlinear coupling

Abstract

It is well known that a single nonlinear fractional Schr\"odinger equation with a potential $V(x)$ and a small parameter $\varepsilon $ may have a positive solution that is concentrated at the nondegenerate minimum point of $V(x)$. In this paper, we can find two different positive solutions for two weakly coupled fractional Schr\"odinger systems with a small parameter $\varepsilon $ and two potentials $V_{1}(x)$ and $V_{2}(x)$ having the same minimum point are concentrated at the same point minimum point of $V_{1}(x)$ and $V_{2}\left(x\right) $. In fact that by using the energy estimates, Nehari manifold technique and the Lusternik-Schnirelmann theory of critical points, we obtain the multiplicity results for a class of fractional Laplacian system. Furthermore, the existence and nonexistence of least energy positive solutions are also explored.
