Abstract
In this paper, we consider the following nonlinear Schrödinger equation with an \(L^2\)-constraint:
where \(N\ge 3\), \(a,\mu >0\), \(2<q<2+\frac{4}{N}<p<2^*\), \(2q+2N-pN<0\) and \(\lambda \in \mathbb {R}\) arises as a Lagrange multiplier. We deal with the concave and convex cases of energy functional constraints on the \(L^2\) sphere, and prove the existence of infinitely solutions with positive energy levels.
