Abstract
We consider the general Choquard equations −Δu+u=(Iα∗|u|^p)|u|^(p−2)u where Iα is a Riesz potential. We construct minimal action odd solutions for p∈((N+α)/N,(N+α)/(N−2)) and minimal action nodal solutions for p∈(2,(N+α)/(N−2)). We introduce a new minimax principle for least action nodal solutions and we develop new concentration-compactness lemmas for sign-changing Palais-Smale sequences. The nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which is the nonlocal counterpart of the Choquard equation, does not have such solutions.
