Received  April 2012 Revised  May 2013 Published  July 2013

We study the asymptotic behavior of the ground state for a class of quasilinear Schrödinger equations with general nonlinearities. By the variational argument and dual approach, we show the asymptotic non-degeneracy and uniqueness of the ground state.
