We provide a detailed analysis of the minimizers of the functional 
, 
, subject to the constraint 
. This problem, e.g., describes the long-time behavior of the parabolic Anderson in probability theory or ground state solutions of a nonlinear Schrödinger equation. While existence can be proved with standard methods, we show that the usual uniqueness results obtained with PDE-methods can be considerably simplified by additional variational arguments. In addition, we investigate qualitative properties of the minimizers and also study their behavior near the critical exponent 2.
