0$$ is a small parameter, and V is assumed to be bounded and bounded away from zero. When V has a local minimum point P, as $$\epsilon \rightarrow 0$$ , we construct an infinite sequence of localized sign-changing solutions clustered at P and these solutions are of higher topological type in the sense that they are obtained from a minimax characterization of higher dimensional symmetric linking structure via the symmetric mountain pass theorem. It has been an open question whether the sign-changing solutions of higher topological type can be localized and our result gives an affirmative answer. The existing results in the literature have been subject to some geometrical or topological constraints that limit the number of localized sign-changing solutions. At a local minimum point of V, Bartsch et al. (Math Ann 338:147–185, 2007) proved the existence of N pairs of localized sign-changing solutions and D’Aprile and Pistoia (Ann Inst Hénri Poincare Anal Non Linéaire 26:1423–1451, 2009) constructed 9 pairs of localized sign-changing solutions for $$N\ge 3$$ . Our result gives an unbounded sequence of such solutions. Our method combines the Byeon and Wang’s penalization approach and minimax method via a variant of the classical symmetric mountain pass theorem, and is rather robust without using any non-degeneracy conditions.
National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
