A new deduce of the strict binding inequality and its application: Ground state normalized solution to Schr\"odinger equations with potential

Abstract

In the present paper, we prove the existence of solutions $(\lambda, u)\in \R\times H^1(\R^N)$ to the following elliptic equations with potential $\displaystyle -\Delta u+(V(x)+\lambda)u=g(u)\;\hbox{in}\;\R^N, $ satisfying the normalization constraint $\displaystyle \int_{\R^N}u^2=a>0,$ which is deduced by searching for solitary wave solution to the time-dependent nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations. Besides the importance in the applications, not negligible reasons of our interest for such problems with potential $V(x)$ are their stimulating and challenging mathematical difficulties. We develop an interesting way basing on iteration and give a new proof of the so-called "sub-additive inequality", which can simply the standard process in the traditional sense. Under some very relax assumption on the potential $V(x)$ and some other suitable assumptions on $g$, we can obtain the existence of ground state solution for prescribed $a>0$.
