Abstract

We consider the following nonlinear Schr¨odinger equations −"2Δu + u = Q(x)|u|p−2u in RN, u ∈ H1(RN), where " is a small positive parameter, N ∈ 2, 2 < p < 1 for N = 2 and 2 < p < 2N /N−2 for N ≥3. We prove that this problem has sign-changing (nodal) semi-classical bound states with clustered spikes for sufficiently small " under some additional conditions on Q(x). Moreover, the number of this type of solutions will go to infinity as ε→ 0+.
