Abstract: The present paper studies concentration phenomena of semiclassical approximation of a massive Dirac equation with general nonlinear self-coupling: [ -ihbaralphacdot abla w+a�eta w+V(x)w=g(|w|)w ,. ] Compared with some existing issues, the most interesting results obtained here are twofold: the solutions concentrating around local minima of the external potential; and the nonlinearities assumed to be either super-linear or asymptotically linear at the infinity. As a consequence one sees that, if there are k bounded domains LambdajsubsetmathbbR3 such that −a<minLambdajV=V(xj)<minpartialLambdajV, xjinLambdaj, then the k-families of solutions whbarj concentrates around xj as hbaro0, respectively. The proof relies on variational arguments: the solutions are found as critical points of an energy functional. The Dirac operator has a continuous spectrum which is not bounded from below and above, hence the energy functional is strongly indefinite. A penalization technique is developed here to obtain the desired solutions.
