We consider a singularly perturbed elliptic equation ϵ 2 Δ u - V ( x ) u + f ( u ) = 0 , u ( x ) > 0 on N , 𝚕𝚒𝚖 x u ( x ) = 0 , where V ( x ) > 0 for any x N . The singularly perturbed problem has corresponding limiting problems Δ U - c U + f ( U ) = 0 , U ( x ) > 0 on N , 𝚕𝚒𝚖 x U ( x ) = 0 , c > 0 . Berestycki-Lions found almost necessary and sufficient conditions on nonlinearity f for existence of a solution of the limiting problem. There have been endeavors to construct solutions of the singularly perturbed problem concentrating around structurally stable critical points of potential V under possibly general conditions on f . In this paper, we prove that under the optimal conditions of Berestycki-Lions on f C 1 , there exists a solution concentrating around topologically stable positive critical points of V , whose critical values are characterized by minimax methods.
