Soluções nodais para problemas elípticos semilineares com crescimento crítico exponencial

Abstract

In this work, we study existence, non-existence and multiplicity results of nodal solutions for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (P) -u + V (x)u = f(u) in ; where is a smooth domain in R2 which is not necessarily bounded, f is a continuous function which has exponential critical growth and V is a continuous and nonnegative potential. In the first part, we prove the existence of least energy nodal solution in both cases, bounded and unbounded domain. Moreover, we also prove a nonexistence result of least energy nodal solution for the autonomous case in whole R2. In the second part, we establish multiplicity of multi-bump type nodal solutions. Finally, for V - 0, we prove a result of infinitely many nodal solutions on a ball. The main tools used are Variational methods, Lions's Lemma, Penalization methods and a process of anti-symmetric continuation.
