Abstract

We study existence and multiplicity of semi-classical states for the nonlinear Choquard equation

where , , is the Riesz potential, , and is a small parameter.

We develop a new variational approach and we show the existence of a family of solutions concentrating, as , to a local minima of under general conditions on . Our result is new also for and applicable for . Especially, we can give the existence result for locally sublinear case , which gives a positive answer to an open problem arisen in recent works of Moroz and Van Schaftingen.

We also study the multiplicity of positive single-peak solutions and we show the existence of at least solutions concentrating around as , where is the set of minima of in a bounded potential well , that is, and .
