Abstract

We prove the existence of a non-trivial solution for the nonlinear elliptic problem −Δu + V(x)u = a(x)g(u) in RN, where g is superlinear near zero and near infinity, a(x) changes sign and VC(RN) is positive at infinity. For g odd, we prove the existence of an infinite number of solutions.
