Abstract
We prove the existence of a minimal action nodal solution for the quadratic Choquard equation −Δu+u=(Iα∗|u|2)u in ℝN, where Iα is the Riesz potential of order α∈(0,N). The solution is constructed as the limit of minimal action nodal solutions for the nonlinear Choquard equations −Δu+u=(Iα∗|u|p)|u|p−2u in ℝN when p↘2. The existence of minimal action nodal solutions for p>2 can be proved using a variational minimax procedure over Nehari nodal set. No minimal action nodal solutions exist when p<2.
