Existence of solutions to quasilinear Schrodinger equations with indefinite potential

Zupei Shen, Zhiqing Han

Abstract:
In this article, we study the existence and multiplicity of solutions of the quasilinear Schrodinger equation
$$ -u''+V(x)u-(|u| ^2)''u=f(u) $$
on $\mathbb{R}$, where the potential $V$ allows sign changing and the nonlinearity satisfies conditions weaker than the classical Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. By a local linking theorem and the fountain theorem, we obtain the existence and multiplicity of solutions for the equation.
