Title: Existence of multi-bump solutions for a class of Kirchhoff type problems in R{sup 3}

Abstract

Using variational methods, we establish existence of multi-bump solutions for a class of Kirchhoff type problems −(a+b∫{sub R{sup 3}}|∇u|{sup 2}dx)Δu+λV(x)u=f(u), where f is a continuous function with subcritical growth, V(x) is a critical frequency in the sense that inf{sub x∈R{sup 3}}V(x)=0. We show that if the zero set of V(x) has several isolated connected components Ω{sub 1}, …, Ω{sub k} such that the interior of Ω{sub i} is not empty and ∂Ω{sub i} is smooth, then for λ > 0 large there exists, for any non-empty subset J ⊂ (1, …, k), a bump solution is trapped in a neighborhood of ∪{sub j∈J}Ω{sub j}.
