Asymptotically linear Schrodinger equation with zero on the boundary of the spectrum

Dongdong Qin, Xianhua Tang

Abstract:
This article concerns the Schrodinger equation
$$\displaylines{ -\Delta u+V(x)u=f(x, u), \quad \text{for } x\in\mathbb{R}^N,\cr u(x)\to 0, \quad \text{as } |x| \to \infty, }$$
where V and f are periodic in x, and 0 is a boundary point of the spectrum $\sigma(-\Delta+V)$. Assuming that f(x,u) is asymptotically linear as $|u|\to\infty$, existence of a ground state solution is established using some new techniques.
