Abstract

We investigate the NLS equation with competing Hartree-type and power-type nonlinearities \begin{equation*} \begin{array}{ll} i\partial _{t}\psi +\Delta \psi +\gamma (I_{\alpha }\ast |\psi |^{p})|\psi |^{p-2}\psi +\mu |\psi |^{q-2}\psi =0, & \text{ }\forall (t,x)\in \mathbb{R\times R}^{N},% \end{array}% \end{equation*}% where $\gamma \mu <0$. We establish conditions for the local well-posedness in the energy space. Under the double $L^{2}$-supercritical case, we prove the existence and multiplicity of standing waves with prescribed mass by developing a constraint method when $\gamma <0,\mu >0$ and $\gamma >0,\mu <0, $ respectively. Moreover, we prove weak orbital stablility and strong instability of standing waves by considering a suitable local minimization problem and by analyzing the fibering mapping, respectively. A new analysis of the fibering mapping is performed in this work. We believe that it is innovative as it was not discussed at all in any previous results. The lower bound rate of blow-up solutions for the Cauchy problem is given as well. Due to the different \textquotedblleft strength" of the two types of nonlinearities, we find some essential differences in our results between these two competing cases. We will be dealing with two major scenarios that are totally different from each other due to their diverse geometric structure. This leads to surprising findings. Additionally, the competing pure power-type nonlinearities case can be derived from our study thanks to a good choice of the kernel of the Hartree term.
