Abstract

Variational methods are used to study the nonlinear Schrödinger-Poisson type equations which model the electromagnetic wave propagating in the plasma in physics. By analyzing the Hamiltonian property to construct a constrained variational problem, the existence of the ground state of the system is obtained. Furthermore, it is shown that the ground state is orbitally stable.
