Ground States of a Nonlinear Curl-Curl Problem in Cylindrically Symmetric Media

Thomas Bartsch, Tomáš Dohnal, Michael Plum +1

We consider the nonlinear curl-curl problem $\nabla \times \nabla \times U+V(x)U=\Gamma (x)|U{|}^{p-1}U$ in ${\mathbb{R}}^3$ related to the nonlinear Maxwell equations for monochromatic fie…
