Nodal solutions for quasilinear Schr\"{o}dinger equations with asymptotically 3-linear nonlinearity

In this paper, we are concerned with the quasilinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation \begin{equation*} -\Delta u+V(x)u-u\Delta(u^2)=g(u),\ \ x\in \mathbb{R}^{N}, \end{equation*} where $N\geq3$, $V$ is radially symmetric and nonnegative, and $g$ is asymptotically 3-linear at infinity. In the case of $\inf_{\mathbb{R}^N}V>0$, we show the existence of a least energy sign-changing solution with exactly one node, and for any integer $k>0$, there are a pair of sign-changing solutions with $k$ nodes. Moreover, in the case of $\inf_{\mathbb{R}^N}V=0$, the problem above admits a least energy sign-changing solution with exactly one node. The proof is based on variational methods. In particular, some new tricks and the method of sign-changing Nehari manifold depending on a suitable restricted set are introduced to overcome the difficulty resulting from the appearance of asymptotically 3-linear nonlinearities.
