Existence, characterization and number of ground states for coupled equations

Qihan He, Shuangjie Peng

Abstract:
This article concerns the existence, characterization and number of ground states for the system consisting of m coupled semilinear equations

We extend the characterization results obtained by Correia [5,6] to the above problem. Also we give a new characterization of the ground states, which provides a more convenient way for finding or checking ground states. This study may be the first result not only positive ground states but also for semi-trivial ground states, and it shows that the positive ground state is unique for some special cases.
