Normalized solutions and mass concentration for supercritical nonlinear Schrödinger equations

Abstract

In this paper, we deal with the existence and concentration of normalized solutions to the supercritical nonlinear Schrödinger equation \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{l} -Δu + V(x) u = μ_q u + a|u|^q u \quad {\rm in}\quad \mathbb{R}^2,\\ \int_{\mathbb{R}^2}|u|^2\,dx =1,\\ \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} where ${\mu }_q$ is the Lagrange multiplier. We show that for $q>2$ close to $2$, the equation admits two solutions: one is the local minimal solution $u_q$ and another one is the mountain pass solution $v_q$. Furthermore, we study the limiting behavior of $u_q$ and $v_q$ when $q\to 2_{+}$. Particularly, we describe precisely the blow-up formation of the excited state $v_q$.
