Standing waves for a coupled nonlinear Hartree equations with nonlocal interaction

Standing wave solutions of coupled nonlinear Hartree equations with nonlocal interaction are considered. Such systems arises from mathematical models in Bose–Einstein condensates theory and nonlinear optics. The existence and non-existence of positive ground state solutions are proved under optimal conditions on parameters, and various qualitative properties of ground state solutions are shown. The uniqueness of the positive solution or the positive ground state solution are also obtained in some cases.
