Abstract

We study the nonlinear Schrödinger equations: (Pλ) -Δu+(λ2a(x)+1)u = |u|p-1u, u ε H 1(RN), where p > 1 is a subcritical exponent, a(x) is a continuous function satisfying a(x) ≥ 0, 0 < lim inf |x|-∞ a(x) ≤ lim sup|x|-∞ a(x) < ∞ and a-1(0) consists of 2 connected bounded smooth components Ω1 and Ω2. We study the existence of solutions (uλ) of (Pλ) which converge to 0 in RN \ (Ω1Ω 2) and to a prescribed pair (v1(x), v2(x)) of solutions of the limit problem: -Δvi + vi = |v i|p-1vi in Ωi (i = 1, 2) as λ → ∞.
