A Unified Approach to Singularly Perturbed Quasilinear Schrödinger Equations

In this paper we present a unified approach to investigate existence and concentration of positive solutions for the following class of quasilinear Schrödinger equations, -ε2Δu+V(x)u∓ε2+γuΔu2=h(u),x∈RN,\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$-\varepsilon^2\Delta u+V(x)u\mp\varepsilon^{2+\gamma}u\Delta u^2=h(u),\ \ x\in \mathbb{R}^N, $$\end{document} where N⩾3,ε>0,V(x)\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$N\geqslant3, \varepsilon > 0, V(x)$$\end{document} is a positive external potential,h is a real function with subcritical or critical growth. The problem is quite sensitive to the sign changing of the quasilinear term as well as to the presence of the parameter γ>0\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\gamma>0$$\end{document}.
