Concentrating standing waves for the fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation (Q2349993)

This paper deals with a class of nonlinear fractional equations with a power-type nonlinearity. The first main result establishes the existence of a multiple-spike solution at separate places in the case of stable critical points. The existence of single-spike solutions as well as their asymptotic behavior is also discussed in the paper. The third main result of the paper concerns the existence of multiple spikes at the same point. The paper is very well written and the proofs combine variational methods and elliptic estimates. A key ingredient is the Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction method.
