Abstract: In this paper, we study real solutions of the nonlinear Helmholtz equation - Delta u - k^2 u = f(x,u),qquad xin R^N satisfying the asymptotic conditions u(x)=O(|x|^{frac{1-N}{2}}) quad ext{and} quad frac{partial^2 u}{partial r^2}(x)+k^2 u(x)) =o(|x|^{frac{1-N}{2}}) qquad ext{as r=|x|oinfty.} We develop the variational framework to prove the existence of nontrivial solutions for compactly supported nonlinearities without any symmetry assumptions. In addition, we consider the radial case in which, for a larger class of nonlinearities, infinitely many solutions are shown to exist. Our results give rise to the existence of standing wave solutions of corresponding nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations with arbitrarily large frequency.
