Multiplicity and limit of solutions for logarithmic Schrödinger equations on graphs

Abstract

Let Ω be a finite connected subset of a locally finite graph G = (V, E) with the vertex set V and the edge set E. We investigate the logarithmic Schrödinger equation on Ω with the nonlinear term |u|p−2u log u2. For p > 2, through two different approaches which are the Brouwer degree theory and mountain-pass theorem, we obtain the existence of ground state solutions. We also apply the Brouwer degree theory together with the constraint variational method to prove that the equation admits a sign-changing solution which implies the multiplicity of solutions to the equation. Finally, we illustrate that as p → 2, up to a subsequence, the solutions for p > 2 shall converge to a non-trivial solution of the equation with p = 2.
