Quasilinear Schrödinger equations with superlinear terms describing the Heisenberg ferromagnetic spin chain

Abstract

In this paper, we consider a model problem arising from a classical planar Heisenberg ferromagnetic spin chain: $$ -\Delta u+V(x)u-\frac{u}{\sqrt{1-u^{2}}}\Delta \sqrt{1-u^{2}}=c \vert u \vert ^{p-2}u,\quad x\in \mathbb{R}^{N}, $$ where $2< p<2^{*}$ , $c>0$ and $N\geq 3$ . By the cutoff technique, the change of variables and the $L^{\infty}$ estimate, we prove that there exists $c_{0}>0$ , such that for any $c>c_{0}$ this problem admits a positive solution. Here, in contrast to the Morse iteration method, we construct the $L^{\infty}$ estimate of the solution. In particular, we give the specific expression of $c_{0}$ .
