Summary: We consider a singularly perturbed elliptic equation \[ \varepsilon^2\Delta u - V(x) u + f(u)=0,\quad u(x)>0\text{ on }\mathbb R^N,\quad \lim\limits_{| x|\to \infty}u(x) = 0, \] where \(V(x)>0\) for any \(x \in\mathbb R^N\). The singularly perturbed problem has corresponding limiting problems \[ \Delta U-cU+f(U)=0,\quad U(x)>0\text{ on }\mathbb R^N,\quad \lim\limits_{| x| \to \infty}U(x)=0,\quad c>0. \] \textit{H. Berestycki} and \textit{P.-L. Lions} [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 82, 313--345 (1983; Zbl 0533.35029)] found almost necessary and sufficient conditions on nonlinearity \(f\) for existence of a solution of the limiting problem. There have been endeavors to construct solutions of the singularly perturbed problem concentrating around structurally stable critical points of potential \(V\) under possibly general conditions on \(f\). In this paper, we prove that under the optimal conditions of Berestycki-Lions on \(f \in C^1\), there exists a solution concentrating around topologically stable positive critical points of \(V\), whose critical values are characterized by minimax methods.
