Existence and Asymptotic Behavior of Normalized Ground States for a Weighted Elliptic System with Caffarelli--Kohn--Nirenberg Critical Exponent

Abstract

In this paper, we study the coupled singular weighted elliptic system $$\left\{ \begin{aligned} -\operatorname{div}(|x|^{-2a}\nabla u)+λ_1 \frac{u}{|x|^{2a}}&=βp\frac{|v|^q|u|^{p-2}u}{|x|^{b(p+q)}}+\frac{|u|^{2^{\sharp}-2}u}{|x|^{b2^{\sharp}}},\quad\text{in}~\mathbb{R}^N, -\operatorname{div}(|x|^{-2a}\nabla v)+λ_2\frac{v}{|x|^{2a}}&=βq\frac{|u|^p|v|^{q-2}v}{|x|^{b(p+q)}}+\frac{|v|^{2^\sharp-2}v}{|x|^{b{2^\sharp}}},\quad\text{in}~\mathbb{R}^N, \displaystyle\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}\frac{|u|^2}{|x|^{2a}} dx=ρ_1^2,\quad &\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}\frac{|v|^2}{|x|^{2a}}dx=ρ_2^2. \end{aligned} \right. $$ where N≥3, β∈ℝ, ρ1,ρ2>0, max{0,(N−4)/2}≤ a<(N−2)/2, a<b<a+1, 2♯:=2N/(N−2(1+a−b)), p,q>1 and 2<p+q<2♯. Here 2♯ is the critical exponent of the Caffarelli--Kohn--Nirenberg inequality, and λ1,λ2∈ℝ are unknown, since the two weighted masses are prescribed. We show that the ground state level is not attained for β≤0. For β>0 we obtain positive normalized ground states, with positive Lagrange multipliers, in the mass subcritical, mass critical, and mass supercritical regimes, for explicit ranges of β. In the mass supercritical regime, a threshold β0≥0 appears: a ground state exists for every β>β0 and does not exist for 0<β<β0. We give conditions on p,q under which β0=0, and we prove that β0>0 when p,q≥2. Finally, we describe the ground states as β→0+ and as β→+∞: after a dilation, they converge to the ground states of the limit system without critical terms, or one component vanishes and the other concentrates on an extremal of the Caffarelli--Kohn--Nirenberg inequality.
