On the standing wave in coupled fractional Klein–Gordon equation

Abstract The aim of this paper is to deal with the standing wave problems in coupled nonlinear fractional Klein–Gordon equations. First, we establish the constrained minimizations for a single nonlinear fractional Laplace equation. Then we prove the existence of a standing wave with a ground state using a variational argument. Next, applying the potential well argument and the concavity method, we obtain the sharp criterion for blowing up and global existence. Finally, we show the instability of the standing wave.
