Nonlinear curl-curl problems in \(\mathbb{R}^3\)
Minimax theory and its applications, Tome 7 (2022) no. 2
We survey recent results concerning ground states and bound states u: R3 → R3 to the curl-curl problem ∇×(∇×u)+V(x)u=f(x,u) in R3, which originates from the nonlinear Maxwell equations. The energy functional associated with this problem is strongly indefinite due to the infinite dimensional kernel of ∇×(∇×·). The growth of the nonlinearity f is superlinear and subcritical at infinity or purely critical and we demonstrate a variational approach to the problem involving the generalized Nehari manifold. We also present some refinements of known results.
