Infinitely many sign-changing solutions for logarithmic Schrödinger equations via an \(L^p\)-perturbation approach

arXiv:2606.14444

Abstract

We study the logarithmic Schrödinger equation \[ -Δu+V(x)u=u\log u^2,\qquad x\in\mathbb R^N,\ N\ge3. \] Since the logarithmic energy is not \(C^1\) on the natural space \(H_V^1(\mathbb R^N)\), direct invariant-set minimax arguments for sign-changing solutions are not available. We introduce an \(L^p\)-regularization perturbation, which restores a \(C^1\) variational structure while preserving the logarithmic nonlinearity, and prove via a limiting argument that the original equation admits infinitely many sign-changing weak solutions.
