We will present some recent results on the existence of solutions for a class of elliptic equations which are asymptotically linear at infinity\[ -\Delta u + V(x) u = a(x) f(u) \quad\in \mathbb{R}^n,\] where \( 0 < V(x)\to V_\infty\) and \(0 < a(x)\to a_\infty\), as \(|x|\to\infty, V_\infty < a_\infty\) and \( f(s)/s \to 1\) as \(s \to \infty\). Using concentration compactness arguments and a general Pohozaev type manifold, we find bound state solutions via a linking theorem.
Moreover, we show that a minimizing problem, related to the existence of a ground state, has no solution.
