A singular perturbed problem with critical Sobolev exponent

Abstract

This paper deals with the following nonlinear elliptic problem \begin{equation}\label{eq0.1} -\varepsilon^2\Delta u+\omega V(x)u=u^{p}+u^{2^{*}-1},\quad u> 0\quad\text{in}\ \R^N, \end{equation} where $\omega\in\R^{+}$, $N\geq 3$, $p\in (1,2^{*}-1)$ with $2^{*}={2N}/({N-2})$, $\varepsilon> 0$ is a small parameter and $V(x)$ is a given function. Under suitable assumptions, we prove that problem (\ref{eq0.1}) has multi-peak solutions by the Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction method for sufficiently small $\varepsilon$, which concentrate at local minimum points of potential function $V(x)$. Moreover, we show the local uniqueness of positive multi-peak solutions by using the local Pohozaev identity.
