Abstract

In this paper, we are concerned with the existence of multi-bump solutions for a nonlinear Schrödinger equations with electromagnetic fields. We prove under some suitable conditions that for any positive integer m, there exists ε(m) > 0 such that, for 0 < ε < ε(m), the problem has an m-bump complex-valued solution. As a result, when ε → 0, the equation has more and more multi-bump complex-valued solutions.
