Existence and concentration of semiclassical states for nonlinear Schrodinger equations

Abstract

In this paper, we study the following semilinear Schr\"odinger equation $$ -\epsilon^2\triangle u+ u+ V(x)u=f(u),\ u\in H^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{N}), $$ where $N\geq 2$ and $\epsilon>0$ is a small parameter. The function $V$ is bounded in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $\inf_{\mathbb{R}^N}(1+V(x))>0$ and it has a possibly degenerate isolated critical point. Under some conditions on $f,$ we prove that as $\epsilon\rightarrow 0,$ this equation has a solution which concentrates at the critical point of $V$.}
