Abstract
The aim of this work is to present new spectral tools for studying the orbital stability of standing waves solutions for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) with power nonlinearity on a tadpole graph, namely, a graph consisting of a circle with a half-line attached at a single vertex. By considering δ-type boundary conditions at the junction and bound states with a positive two-lobe profile, the main novelty of this paper is at least twofold. Via a splitting eigenvalue method developed by the author, we identify the Morse index and the nullity index of a specific linearized operator around of an a priori positive two-lobe state profile for every positive power; and we also obtain new results about the existence and the orbital stability of positive two-lobe states at least in the cubic NLS case. To our knowledge, the results contained in this paper are the first in studying positive bound states for the NLS on a tadpole graph by non-variational techniques. In particular, our approach has prospect of being extended to study stability properties of other bound states for the NLS on a tadpole graph or on other non-compact metric graph such as a looping edge graph, as well as, for other nonlinear evolution models on a tadpole graph.
