Abstract

In this paper, we will study the existence and qualitative property of standing waves for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation , . Let and suppose that has local minimum points. Then, for any , we prove the existence of the standing waves in having exactly local maximum points which concentrate near local minimum points of respectively as . The potentials and are allowed to be either compactly supported or unbounded at infinity. Therefore, we give a positive answer to a problem proposed by Ambrosetti and Malchiodi (2007) [2].
