We set up a dual variational framework to detect real standing wave solutions of the nonlinear Helmholtz equation− Δ u− k 2 u= Q (x)| u| p− 2 u, u∈ W 2, p (R N) with N≥ 3, 2 (N+ 1)(N− 1)< p< 2 N N− 2 and nonnegative Q∈ L∞(R N). We prove the existence of nontrivial solutions for periodic Q as well as in the case where Q (x)→ 0 as| x|→∞. In the periodic case, a key ingredient of the approach is a new nonvanishing theorem related to an associated integral equation. The solutions we study are superpositions of outgoing and incoming waves and are characterized by a nonlinear far field relation.
