Abstract

We study the multiplicity of positive solutions and their limiting behavior as ε tends to zero for a class of coupled nonlinear Schr\"odinger system in RN. We relate the number of positive solutions to the topology of the set of minimum points of the least energy function for ε sufficiently small. Also, we verify that these solutions concentrate at a global minimum point of the least energy function.
