Abstract
AbstractThe tadpole graph consists of a circle and a half-line attached at a vertex. We analyze standing waves of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with quintic power nonlinearity equipped with the Neumann–Kirchhoff boundary conditions at the vertex. The profile of the standing wave with the frequency $$\omega \in (-\infty ,0)$$
