On the existence of Nehari ground states for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on discrete graphs
摘要
We study standing waves for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on a discrete graph. We characterize for a self-adjoint realizations of Schrödinger operators conditions related with the geometry of the graph that guarantee discreteness of the spectrum and study ground states on the generalized Nehari manifold in order to prove the existence of standing wave solutions in the self-focusing and defocusing cases. In this context, we show properties of the solutions, such as integrability. Finally, we discuss decay properties of solutions and the bifurcation of solutions from the trivial solution.
