Positive multi-peak solutions for a logarithmic Schrodinger equation

arXiv:1908.02970

summary

The paper proves the existence and local uniqueness of positive multi‑peak solutions for a singularly perturbed logarithmic Schrödinger equation using Lyapunov‑Schmidt reduction and Pohozaev identities.

Abstract

In this manuscript, we consider the logarithmic Schrödinger equation \begin{eqnarray*} -\varepsilon^2Δu+V(x)u=u\log u^{2},\,\,\,u>0, & \text{in}\,\,\,\mathbb{R}^{N}, \end{eqnarray*} where $N\geq3$, $\varepsilon>0$ is a small parameter. Under some assumptions on $V(x)$, we show the existence of positive multi-peak solutions by Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction. It seems to be the first time to study singularly perturbed logarithmic Schrödinger problem by reduction. And here using a new norm is the crucial technique to overcome the difficulty caused by the logarithmic nonlinearity. At the same time, we consider the local uniqueness of the multi-peak solutions by using a type of local Pohozaev identities.
