Abstract

In this paper, we concern with the following quasilinear problemwhere is the -Laplacian of for , is a small parameter, is a continuous superlinear and subcritical nonlinearity. Suppose that has at least one minimum and has at least one maximum. We first prove that there are two families of positive solutions for small, which concentrate, respectively, on the set of minimal points of and the set of maximal points of . In addition, we obtain some sufficient conditions for the nonexistence of positive ground state solutions.
