Abstract

In this paper, we apply the methods of Nehari manifold to study a class of Schrödinger–Poisson system in a bounded domain \(\Omega \subset {\mathbb R}^3\) submitted to Dirichlet boundary conditions. Under a general 4-superlinear conditions on the nonlinearity f, we prove the existence of a ground state solution. In case the nonlinearity f is odd with respect to the second variable, we obtain the existence of infinitely many solutions. In the proofs, the Nehari manifold does not need to be of \(C^1\) class.
