Abstract

In this paper, we study the existence and concentration of solution for the following class of quasilinear problem

$$\begin{aligned} -\hbar ^{2} \Delta v+ V(x)v-\hbar ^{p}\Delta _{p} v + W^{\prime }(v)=0\, \,x\in {\mathbb {R}}^{N}, \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad (P_{\hbar }) \end{aligned}$$

when \(\hbar >0\) is small enough, where \(v:{\mathbb {R}}^{N}\rightarrow {\mathbb {R}}^{N+1}, 3\le N<p, \hbar >0,\) W is a \(C^1\) singular functional that satisfies some technical conditions and the potential V is continuous functions with \(\displaystyle \liminf _{\vert x\vert \rightarrow +\infty }V(x)\equiv V_{\infty }>\inf _{x \in {\mathbb {R}}^N}V(x)>0\) . Moreover, we also consider the existence of solution for all \(\hbar >0\) when V is a radial function.
