In the recent literature, the phenomenon of phase separation for binary mixtures of Bose–Einstein condensates can be understood, from a mathematical point of view, as governed by the asymptotic limit of the stationary Gross–Pitaevskii system - Δ u + u 3 + β u v 2 = λ u , - Δ v + v 3 + β u 2 v = μ v , u , v H 0 1 ( Ω ) , u , v > 0 , as the interspecies scattering length β goes to + . For this system we consider the associated energy functionals J β , β ( 0 , + ) , with L 2 -mass constraints, which limit J (as β + ) is strongly irregular. For such functionals, we construct multiple critical points via a common minimax structure, and prove convergence of critical levels and optimal sets. Moreover we study the asymptotics of the critical points.

For this system we consider the associated energy functionals $J_{\beta }, \beta \in (0, +\infty )$, with $L^2$-mass constraints, which limit $J_{\infty }$ (as $\beta \rightarrow +\infty $) is strongly irregular. For such functionals, we construct multiple critical points via a common minimax structure, and prove convergence of critical levels and optimal sets.
