Normalized solutions of quasilinear Schr\"odinger equations with a general nonlinearity

We are concerned with solutions of the following quasilinear Schr\"odinger equations {eqnarray*} -{div}(φ²(u) ∇ u)+φ(u) φ^{}(u)|∇ u|²+λ u=f(u), x ∈ RN {eqnarray*} with prescribed mass ∫_RN u² dx=c, where N≥ 3, c>0, λ ∈ R appears as the Lagrange multiplier and φ∈ C ¹(R ,R⁺). The nonlinearity f ∈ C ( R, \, R ) is allowed to be mass-subcritical, mass-critical and mass-supercritical at origin and infinity. Via a dual approach, the fixed point index and a global branch approach, we establish the existence of normalized solutions to the problem above. The results extend previous results by L. Jeanjean, J. J. Zhang and X.X. Zhong to the quasilinear case.
