Abstract

In this paper, we study the existence of localized sign-changing (or nodal) solutions for the following nonlinear Schr\"odinger-Poisson system \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\varepsilon^2 \Delta u+V(x)u+\phi u=K(x)f(u),&\text{in}~\mathbb{R}^3,\\ -\varepsilon^2 \Delta \phi=u^2,&\text{in}~ \mathbb{R}^3, \end{cases} \end{equation*} where ε>0\varepsilon>0 is small parameters, the linear potential VV and nonlinear potential KK are bounded and bounded away from zero. By using the penalization method together with the method of invariant sets of descending flow, we establish the existence of an infinite sequence of localized sign-changing solutions which are higher topological type solutions given by the minimax characterization of the symmetric mountain pass theorem and we determine a concrete set as the concentration position of these sign-changing solutions. For single potential, that is, linear potential VV or nonlinear potential KK is a positive constant, we prove that these localized sign-changing solutions concentrated near a local minimum set of the potential VV or a local maximum set of the potential KK. Moreover, our method is works for the following nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation \begin{equation*} -\varepsilon^2 \Delta u+V(x)u=K(x)f(u),~\text{in}~\mathbb{R}^N \end{equation*} where N2N\geq 2. The result generalizes the result by Chen and Wang (Calc.Var.Partial Differential Equations 56:1-26, 2017).
