Multiple nodal solutions of nonlinear Choquard equations

Zhihua Huang, Jianfu Yang, Weilin Yu

Abstract:
In this article, we consider the existence of multiple nodal solutions of the nonlinear Choquard equation
$$\displaylines{
 -\Delta u+u=(|x|^{-1}\ast|u|^p)|u|^{p-2}u \quad \text{in }\mathbb{R}^3,\cr
 u\in H^1(\mathbb{R}^3),
 }$$
where $p\in (5/2,5)$. We show that for any positive integer k, the above problem has at least one radially symmetrical solution changing sign exactly k-times.
