We investigate the following gauged nonlinear Schrödinger equation −∆u + ωu + λ h 2 u (|x|) |x| 2 + +∞ |x| hu(s) s u 2 (s)ds u = f (u) in R 2 , u ∈ H 1 r (R 2), where ω, λ > 0 and hu(s) = 1 2 s 0 ru 2 (r)dr. When f has exponential critical growth, by using the constrained minimization method and Trudinger-Moser inequality, it is proved that the equation has a ground state radial sign-changing solution u λ which changes sign exactly once. Moreover, the asymptotic behavior of u λ as λ → 0 is analyzed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
