We consider the semilinear Schrödinger equation

$$\begin{eqnarray}\left\{\begin{array}{@{}l@{}}-\triangle u+V(x)u=f(x,u),\quad x\in \mathbb{R}^{N},\\ u\in H^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{N}),\end{array}\right.\end{eqnarray}$$
where $f(x,u)$ is asymptotically linear with respect to $u$, $V(x)$ is 1-periodic in each of $x_{1},x_{2},\dots ,x_{N}$ and $\sup [{\it\sigma}(-\triangle +V)\cap (-\infty ,0)]<0<\inf [{\it\sigma}(-\triangle +V)\cap (0,\infty )]$. We develop a direct approach to find ground state solutions of Nehari–Pankov type for the above problem. The main idea is to find a minimizing Cerami sequence for the energy functional outside the Nehari–Pankov manifold ${\mathcal{N}}^{-}$ by using the diagonal method.
