Doubly nonlinear Schrödinger normalized ground states on 2D grids: Existence results and singular limits

Source abstract

In this paper, we investigate the existence and the singular limit of normalized ground states for focusing doubly nonlinear Schrödinger equations with both standard and concentrated nonlinearities on two-dimensional square grids. First, we provide existence and non-existence results for such ground states depending on the values of the nonlinearity powers and on the structure of the set of vertices where the concentrated nonlinearities are located. Second, we prove that suitable piecewise-affine extensions of such states converge strongly in [Formula: see text] to ground states of corresponding doubly nonlinear models defined on the whole plane as the length of the edges in the grid tends to zero. This convergence is proved both for limit models with standard nonlinearities only and for models combining standard and singular nonlinearities concentrated on a line or on a strip.
