Existence and concentration phenomena for a class of indefinite variational problems with critical growth

Abstract

In this paper we are interested to prove the existence and concentration of ground state solution for the following class of problems $$ -\Delta u+V(x)u=A(\epsilon x)f(u), \quad x \in \R^{N}, \eqno{(P)_{\epsilon}} $$ where $N \geq 2$, $\epsilon>0$, $A:\R^{N}\rightarrow\R$ is a continuous function that satisfies $$ 0<\inf_{x\in\R^{N}}A(x)\leq\lim_{|x|\rightarrow+\infty}A(x)<\sup_{x\in\R^{N}}A(x)=A(0),\eqno{(A)} $$ $f:\R\rightarrow\R$ is a continuous function having critical growth, $V:\R^{N}\rightarrow\R$ is a continuous and $\Z^{N}$--periodic function with $0\notin\sigma(\Delta+V)$. By using variational methods, we prove the existence of solution for $\epsilon$ small enough. After that, we show that the maximum points of the solutions concentrate around of a maximum point of $A$.
