Abstract

We prove new existence results for a Nonlinear Helmholtz equation with sign-changing nonlinearity of the form Δuk2u=Q(x)up2u,uW2,p(RN) - \Delta u - k^{2}u = Q(x)|u|^{p-2}u, \quad u \in W^{2,p}(\mathbb{R}^{N}) with k>0,k>0, N3N \geq 3, p[2(N+1)N1,2NN2)p \in \left[\left.\frac{2(N+1)}{N-1},\frac{2N}{N-2}\right)\right. and QL(RN)Q \in L^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^{N}). Due to the sign-changes of QQ, our solutions have infinite Morse-Index in the corresponding dual variational formulation.
