Semi-classical states for the Choquard equation (Q488130): Difference between revisions

The authors use a newly developed penalization technique to establish the existence of solutions for semilinear equations in the semi-classical setting. The nonlinearity on the right hand side is non-local as it involves convolution with a Riesz potential. Assuming the external potential \(V\) has a local minimum and under certain decay conditions, the authors prove the existence of a family of solutions which concentrates at the local minimum of \(V\) as the semi-classical parameter \(\varepsilon\) tends to zero.
