Abstract

We consider quasilinear Schr\"{o}dinger equations in RN\mathbb{R}^{N} of the form% Δu+V(x)uuΔ(u2)=g(u), -\Delta u+V(x)u-u\Delta(u^{2})=g(u)\text{,}% where g(u)g(u) is 44-superlinear. Unlike all known results in the literature, the Schr\"{o}dinger operator Δ+V-\Delta+V is allowed to be indefinite, hence the variational functional does not satisfy the mountain pass geometry. By a local linking argument and Morse theory, we obtain a nontrivial solution for the problem. In case that gg is odd, we get an unbounded sequence of solutions.
