Normalized solutions of L ² -supercritical NLS equations on non-compact metric graphs

We consider the existence of normalized solutions to non-linear Schrödinger equations on non-compact metric graphs in the L 2 -supercritical regime. For sufficiently small prescribed mass ( L 2 norm), we prove existence of positive solutions on two classes of graphs: periodic graphs and non-compact graphs with finitely many edges and suitable topological assumptions. Our approach is based on mountain pass techniques. A key point to overcome the serious lack of compactness is to show that all solutions with small mass have positive energy. To complement our analysis, we prove that this is no longer true, in general, for large masses. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first results with an L 2 -supercritical non-linearity extended on the whole graph and unravelling the role of topology in the existence of solutions.
