In this paper we prove the existence and qualitative properties of positive bound state solutions for a class of quasilinear Schrödinger equations in dimension $N\ge 3$: we investigate the case of unbounded potentials which can not be covered in a standard function space setting. This leads us to use a nonstandard penalization technique, in a borderline Orlicz space framework, which enable us to build up a one parameter family of classical solutions which have finite energy and exhibit, as the parameter goes to zero, a concentrating behavior around some point which is localized.
Keywords: local mountain pass, Quasilinear Schrödinger equation, Orlicz spaces, solitary waves, variational methods., concentration phenomena.
