Two positive solutions for an inhomogeneous scalar field equation
[ Abstract ]
We consider the following nonlinear elliptic equation:
$$-\\Delta u+u=g(u)+f(x), x \\in R^N,$$
where $N\\ge 3$. When $f(x)\\equiv 0$, it is known that there is a nontrivial solution for a wide class of nonlinearities. Even though $f(x) \\not\\equiv 0$, we can expect the existence of a nontrivial solution if $f(x)$ is small in a suitable sense. Our purpose is to show the existence of two positive solutions via the variational approach when $\\| f\\|_{L^2}$ is small. The first solution is characterized as a local minimizer. The second solution will be obtained by the Mountain Pass Method. Since we do not impose any global condition on the nonlinearity, we will need a presice interaction estimate.
