\left\{\begin{aligned} &\displaystyle{-}(a\epsilon^{2}+b\epsilon[u]_{A/%

is the magnetic Laplace operator. Under a local assumption on the potential V, by combining variational methods, a penalization technique and the Ljusternik–Schnirelmann theory, we prove multiplicity properties of solutions and concentration phenomena for ϵ small. In this problem, the function f is only continuous, which allows to consider larger classes of nonlinearities in the reaction.
