Abstract

In this paper we are interested in the following nonlinear Choquard equation Δu+(λV(x)β)u=(xμu2μ)u2μ2u\mboxinRN, -\Delta u+(\lambda V(x)-\beta)u =\big(|x|^{-\mu}\ast |u|^{2_{\mu}^{\ast}}\big)|u|^{2_{\mu}^{\ast}-2}u\hspace{4.14mm}\mbox{in}\hspace{1.14mm} \mathbb{R}^N, where λ,βR+\lambda,\beta\in\mathbb{R}^+, 0<μ<N0<\mu<N, N4N\geq4, 2μ=(2Nμ)/(N2)2_{\mu}^{\ast}=(2N-\mu)/(N-2) is the upper critical exponent due to the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality and the nonnegative potential function VC(RN,R)V\in \mathcal{C}(\mathbb{R}^N,\mathbb{R}) such that Ω:=\mboxintV1(0)\Omega :=\mbox{int} V^{-1}(0) is a nonempty bounded set with smooth boundary. If β>0\beta>0 is a constant such that the operator Δ+λV(x)β-\Delta +\lambda V(x)-\beta is non-degenerate, we prove the existence of ground state solutions which localize near the potential well int V1(0)V^{-1}(0) for λ\lambda large enough and also characterize the asymptotic behavior of the solutions as the parameter λ\lambda goes to infinity. Furthermore, for any 0<β<β10<\beta<\beta_{1}, we are able to find the existence of multiple solutions by the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category theory, where β1\beta_{1} is the first eigenvalue of Δ-\Delta on Ω\Omega with Dirichlet boundary condition.
