Review text

The authors deal with the existence and the concentration behaviour of bound states (that is, solutions with finite energy) for the following nonlinear elliptic system: NEWLINE\[NEWLINE-h^2\Delta v+F(x)v- h^p\Delta pv+ W'(v)= 0,NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(h>0\), \(v:\mathbb{R}^N \to\mathbb{R}^{N+1}\), \(N\geq 2\), \(p>N\), \(F:\mathbb{R}^N \to\mathbb{R}\), \(W:\Omega \to\mathbb{R}\) with \(\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^{N+1}\) an open set, \(W'\) is the gradient of \(W\). Here \(\Delta v=(\Delta v_1,\dots, \Delta v_{N+1})\), \(\Delta\) being the classical Laplacian operator, while \(\Delta_pv\) denotes the \((N+1)\)-vector whose \(j\)-th component is given by \(\text{div} (|\nabla v|^{p-2} \cdot\nabla v_j)\). Based on variational methods relying on topological tools the authors obtain good localization results under relatively minimal assumptions.
