Standing waves for two-component elliptic system with critical growth in mathbb{R}⁴: the attractive case

In this paper, we consider the following two-component elliptic system with critical growth \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\Delta u+(V_1(x)+\lambda)u=\mu_1u^{3}+\beta uv^{2}, \ \ x\in \mathbb{R}^4, -\Delta v+(V_2(x)+\lambda)v=\mu_2v^{3}+\beta vu^{2}, \ \ x\in \mathbb{R}^4 , % u\geq 0, \ \ v\geq 0 \ \text{in} \ \R^4. \end{cases} \end{equation*} where $V_j(x) \in L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^4)$ are nonnegative potentials and the nonlinear coefficients $\beta ,\mu_j$, $j=1,2$, are positive. Here we also assume $\lambda>0$. By variational methods combined with degree theory, we prove some results about the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions under the hypothesis $\beta>\max\{\mu_1,\mu_2\}$. These results generalize the results for semilinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation on half space by Cerami and Passaseo (SIAM J. Math. Anal., 28, 867-885, (1997)) to the above elliptic system, while extending the existence result from Liu and Liu (Calc. Var. Partial Differential Equations, 59:145, (2020)).
