We prove the existence results for the Schrödinger equation of the formwhere g is superlinear and subcritical in some periodic set K and linear in R N \ K for sufficiently large |u|. The periodic potential V is such that 0 lies in a spectral gap of −∆ + V . We find a solution with the energy bounded by a certain min-max level, and infinitely many geometrically distinct solutions provided that g is odd in u.Recently it has been shown that materials with large range of prescribed properties can be created ([12, 20, 24, 26, 27]) with different linear and nonlinear effects. Our aim is to model a wide range of nonlinear phenomena that allow to consider a composite of materials with different nonlinear polarization. In our case, the polarization g(x, ·) may be linear for some x ∈ R N \K (for sufficiently large |u|) and nonlinear outside of it, where K is a given Z N -periodic subset of R N . We admit Date: May 14, 2019.Lemma 6.1. Let β ≥ c N and suppose that K has a finite number of distinct orbits. If (u n ), (v n ) ⊂ X + are two Cerami sequences for J • m such thatand lim inf n→∞ u n − v n < κ, then lim n→∞ u n − v n = 0.
