Abstract
We study the existence and multiplicity of sign-changing solutions for the Dirichlet problem
where is a small positive parameter, is a smooth, possibly unbounded, domain, is a superlinear and subcritical nonlinearity, is a positive potential bounded away from zero. No symmetry on or on the domain is assumed. It is known by Kang and Wei (see [X. Kang, J. Wei, On interacting bumps of semiclassical states of nonlinear Schrödinger equations, Adv. Differential Equations 5 (2000) 899–928]) that this problem has positive clustered solutions with peaks approaching a local maximum of . The aim of this paper is to show the existence of clustered solutions with mixed positive and negative peaks concentrating at a local minimum point, possibly degenerate, of .
