Abstract

Consider the following semilinear problem with a point interaction in RN\mathbb{R}^N: Δαu+ωu=uup2,- \Delta_\alpha u + \omega u = u |u|^{p - 2}, where N{2,3}N \in \{2, 3\}; ω>0\omega > 0; Δα- \Delta_\alpha denotes the Hamiltonian of point interaction with inverse ss-wave scattering length (4πα)1- (4 \pi \alpha)^{- 1} and we want to solve for u ⁣:RNRu \colon \mathbb{R}^N \to \mathbb{R}. By means of Lyapunov--Schmidt reduction, we prove that this problem has sign-changing multi-peak solutions when either (1) N=2N = 2, αR\alpha \in \mathbb{R}, p<p3p_* < p \leq 3 and ω\omega is sufficiently large or (2) N=3N = 3, 0<α<0 < \alpha < \infty, p<p<3p_* < p < 3 and ω\omega is sufficiently small, where 2.45<p:=9+1138<2.462.45 < p_* := \frac{9 + \sqrt{113}}{8} < 2.46.
