Abstract

In this article, we study the multiplicity and concentration behavior of positive solutions for the p-Laplacian equation of Schrödinger-Kirchhoff type
-εpM(εp-NRN|▽u|p)△pu + V (x)|u|p-2u=f(u)
in RN, where △p is the p-Laplacian operator, 1< p < N, M:R+→ R+ and V:RN → R+ are continuous functions, ε is a positive parameter, and f is a continuous function with subcritical growth. We assume that V satisfies the local condition introduced by M. del Pino and P. Felmer. By the variational methods, penalization techniques, and LyusternikSchnirelmann theory, we prove the existence, multiplicity, and concentration of solutions for the above equation.
