Abstract

In this paper, we study the nonlinear Helmholtz equation with mixed dispersion \begin{equation*} \Delta^2 u-\beta k^2\, \Delta u+\alpha k^4 u=W(x)\, |u|^{p-2}u~\text{in}~\mathbb{R}^N, \end{equation*} where the weight function W(x)W(x) is continuous, nonnegative, and satisfies lim supxW(x)  <  supxRNW(x). \limsup_{|x|\to\infty} W(x) \;<\; \sup_{x\in\mathbb{R}^N} W(x). Within each of the following parameter ranges, \begin{center} (a) α<0\alpha<0, βR\beta\in\mathbb{R}; \qquad (b) α>0\alpha>0, β<2α\beta<-2\sqrt{\alpha}; \qquad (c) α=0\alpha=0, β<0\beta<0, \end{center} After a suitable rescaling, we obtain the existence of dual ground state solutions, which concentrate along the global maximizers of WW as kk\to\infty. In addition, we establish the existence of multiple solutions associated with the set of global maximum points of WW, and we further characterize the precise concentration behavior of these solutions.
