The coupling function $\\lambda:\\mathbb{R}^{N} \\rightarrow \\mathbb{R}$ is related with the potentials by $|\\lambda(x)|\\leq \\delta\\sqrt{V_{1}(x)V_{2}(x)}$, for some $\\delta\\in(0,1)$. We deal with periodic and asymptotically periodic bounded potentials. On the nonlinear terms $f_{1}$ and $f_{2}$, we assume \"superlinear\" at infinity and at the origin. We use a variational approach to obtain the existence of bound and ground states without assuming the well known Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition at infinity. Moreover, we give a description of the ground states when the coupling function goes to zero.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-03-14T13:44:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "ground states", "fractional coupled systems", "fractional laplacian", "coupling function", "asymptotically periodic bounded potentials" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
