Standing waves for Schrodinger equations with Kato class potentials and L∞-bounded nonlinearities
Abstract
We establish the existence of standing waves for a nonlinear Schrodinger equation with potentials belonging to the Kato class and an L∞-bounded nonlinearity, whose Lipschitz constant is smaller than the distance from zero to the essential spectrum of the linear part. We consider both the nonresonant and resonant cases. Our approach is based on the Conley index theory applied to study invariant sets of the associated parabolic semiflow. Using properties of the Schrodinger semigroup with Kato-class potentials, which follow from its Feynman-Kac representation, we derive a priori estimates for bounded solutions in the L∞ and L2 norms, as well as regularity bounds in Sobolev spaces. As a consequence, we obtain conditions ensuring the existence of connecting orbits between stationary solutions, which in turn yield the existence of nontrivial standing waves.
