SOLITON SOLUTIONS TO SYSTEMS OF COUPLED SCHRODINGER EQUATIONS OF HAMILTONIAN TYPE

We study the existence of positive solutions of Hamiltonian-type systems of second-order elliptic PDE in the whole space. The systems depend on a small parameter and involve a potential having a global well structure. We use dual variational methods, a mountain-pass type approach and Fourier analysis to prove positive solutions exist for sufficiently small values of the parameter.
