Existence of Multispike Positive Solutions for a Nonlocal Problem in ℝ3

Abstract

In this paper, we study the following nonlinear Choquard equation −ϵ2Δu+Kxu=1/8πϵ2∫ℝ3u2y/x−ydyu,x∈ℝ3, where ϵ>0 and Kx is a positive bounded continuous potential on ℝ3. By applying the reduction method, we proved that for any positive integer k, the above equation has a positive solution with k spikes near the local maximum point of Kx if ϵ>0 is sufficiently small under some suitable conditions on Kx.
