MULTIPLICITY AND CONCENTRATION BEHAVIOUR OF POSITIVE SOLUTIONS FOR SCHRDINGER-KIRCHHOFF TYPE EQUATIONS INVOLVING THE p-LAPLACIAN IN R~N

In this article, we study the multiplicity and concentration behavior of positive solutions for the p-Laplacian equation of Schrdinger-Kirchhoff type -εpMεp_N∫RN|▽u|p△pu+V(x)|u|p-2u=f(u) in R~N, where △_p is the p-Laplacian operator, 1 p N, M :R~+→R~+ and V :R~N→R~+are continuous functions,ε is a positive parameter, and f is a continuous function with subcritical growth. We assume that V satisfies the local condition introduced by M. del Pino and P. Felmer. By the variational methods, penalization techniques, and LyusternikSchnirelmann theory, we prove the existence, multiplicity, and concentration of solutions for the above equation.
