Existence of multispike positive solutions for a nonlocal problem in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) (Q2246555): Difference between revisions

Summary: In this paper, we study the following nonlinear Choquard equation \(-\epsilon^2\varDelta u+K(x)u=((1)/(8\pi\epsilon^2))(\int_{\mathbb{R}^3}((u^2(y))/(|x-y|))dy)u\), \(x\in \mathbb{R}^3\), where \(\epsilon>0\) and \(K(x)\) is a positive bounded continuous potential on \(\mathbb{R}^3\). 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 \(K(x)\) if \(\epsilon>0\) is sufficiently small under some suitable conditions on \(K(x)\).
