In this paper, we study the following Kirchhoff type problem:% $$ \left\{\aligned&-\bigg(α\int_{\bbr^3}|\nabla u|^2dx+1\bigg)Δu+(λa(x)+a_0)u=|u|^{p-2}u&\text{ in }\bbr^3,\\% &u\in\h,\endaligned\right.\eqno{(\mathcal{P}_{α,λ})}% $$ where $4<p<6$, $α$ and $λ$ are two positive parameters, $a_0\in\bbr$ is a (possibly negative) constant and $a(x)\geq0$ is the potential well. By the variational method, we investigate the existence of nontrivial solutions to $(\mathcal{P}_{α,λ})$. To our best knowledge, it is the first time that the nontrivial solution of the Kirchhoff type problem is found in the indefinite case. We also obtain the concentration behaviors of the solutions as $λ\to+\infty$.
Inhomogeneous Kirchhoff type equations with indefinite data are considered. Some necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of positive solutions of the problem under consideration are presented.
We study the following Kirchhoff equation $$- \left(1 + b \int_{\mathbb{R}^3} |\nabla u|^2 dx \right) Δu + V(x) u = f(x,u), \ x \in \mathbb{R}^3.$$ A special feature of this paper is that the nonlinearity $f$ and the potential $V$ are indefinite, hence sign-changing. Under some appropriate assumptions on $V$ and $f$, we prove the existence of two different solutions of the equation via the Ekeland variational principle and Mountain Pass Theorem.
We obtain a sequence of solutions converging to zero for the Kirchhoff equation $$-\left( 1+\int_Ω\left\vert \nabla u\right\vert^2\right) Δu+V(x)u=f(u)\text{,\qquad}u\in H_{0}^{1}(Ω)$$ via truncating technique and a variant of Clark's theorem due to Liu--Wang, where $Ω$ is a bounded smooth domain $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^N$. Similar result for Schrödinger-Poisson system on a bounded smooth domain $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^3$ is also presented.

In this paper we study the following class of nonlocal {problems} involving Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg type critical growth \begin{align*} L(u)&-λh(x)|x|^{-2(1+a)}u=μf(x)|u|^{q-2}u+|x|^{-pb}|u|^{p-2}u\;\; \text{in } \mathbb R^N, \end{align*} where $h(x)\geq 0$, $f(x)$ is a continuous function which may change sign, $λ, μ$ are positive real parameters and $1<q<2$, $4< p=2N/[N+2(b-a)-2]$, $0\leq a<b<a+1<N/2$, $N\geq 3$. Here $$ L(u)=-M\left(\int_{\mathbb R^N} |x|^{-2a}|\nabla u|^2dx\right)\mathrm {div}(|x|^{-2a}\nabla u) $$ and the function $M:\mathbb R^+\cup \{0\} \to\mathbb R^+$ is exactly as i…
We obtain the existence of ground state solution for the nonlocal problem $$ m\left(\int_{\mathbb{R}^2}(|\nabla u|^2 + b(x)u^2) \textrm{d}x\right)(-Δu + b(x)u) = A(x)f(u) \ \ \ \textrm{in} \ \ \ \mathbb{R}^2, $$ where $m$ is a Kirchhoff-type function, $b$ may be negative and noncoercive, $A$ is locally bounded and the function $f$ has critical exponential growth. We also obtain new results for the classical Schrödinger equation, namely the local case $m\equiv 1$. In the proofs we apply Variational Methods beside a new Trudinger-Moser type inequality.
We study the non-existence, existence and multiplicity of positive solutions to the following nonlinear Kirchhoff equation:% \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{l} -M\left( \int_{\mathbb{R}^{3}}\left\vert \nabla u\right\vert ^{2}dx\right) Δu+μV\left( x\right) u=Q(x)\left\vert u\right\vert ^{p-2}u+λf\left( x\right) u\text{ in }\mathbb{R}^{N}, \\ u\in H^{1}\left( \mathbb{R}^{N}\right) ,% \end{array}% \right. \end{equation*}% where $N\geq 3,2<p<2^{\ast }:=\frac{2N}{N-2},M\left( t\right) =at+b$ $\left( a,b>0\right) ,$ the potential $V$ is a nonnegative function in $\mathbb{R}% ^{N}$ and the we…

In this paper, we consider a class of quasilinear stationary Kirchhoff type potential systems in unbounded domains, which involves a general variable exponent elliptic operator. Under some suitable conditions on the nonlinearities, we establish existence of at least three weak solutions for the problem. The proof of our main result uses variational methods and the critical theorem of Bonanno and Marano.
In this paper we establish the existence of mountain pass and negative energy weak solutions for a Kirchhoff-Schrödinger type problem in $\mathbb R^4$ involving a critical nonlinearity and a suitable small perturbation. The arisen competition between the terms due to the nonlocal coefficient and critical nonlinearity turns out to be rather interesting. The main tools used in the present work are variational methods and the Lions' Concentration Compactness Principle.
The present work is concerned with existence of positive solutions for a class of fractional equation involving a Kirchhoff term and singular potential.
In this paper, we consider the following singularly perturbed Kirchhoff equation \begin{equation*} -(\varepsilon^2a+\varepsilon b\int_{\mathbb{R}^3}|\nabla u|^2dx)Δu+V(x)u=P(x)|u|^{p-2}u+Q(x)|u|^4u,\quad x\in\mathbb{R}^3, \end{equation*} where $\varepsilon>0$ is a small parameter, $a, b > 0$ are constants, $p\in(4,6)$ and $V, P, Q$ are potential functions satisfying some competing conditions.

By introducing some new tricks, we prove that the nonlinear problem of Kirchhoff-type \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\left(a+b\int_{\R^3}|\nabla u|^2\mathrm{d}x\right)\triangle u+V(x)u=f(u), & x\in \R^3; u\in H^1(\R^3), \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} admits two class of ground state solutions under the general "Berestycki-Lions assumptions" on the nonlinearity $f$ which are almost necessary conditions, as well as some weak assumptions on the potential $V$. Moreover, we also give a simple minimax characterization of the ground state energy. Our results improve and complement …
The aim of this paper is analyzing existence, multiplicity, and regularity issues for the positive solutions of a Neumann boundary value problem of superlinear indefinite type related to the mean curvature operator with a sublinear potential at infinity.
In this paper, we prove uniqueness and nondegeneracy of positive solutions to the following Kirchhoff equations with critical growth \begin{eqnarray*} -\left(a+b\int_{\mathbb{R}^{3}}|\nabla u|^{2}\right)Δu=u^{5}, & u>0 & \text{in }\mathbb{R}^{3},\end{eqnarray*} where $a,b>0$ are positive constants. This result has potential applications in singular perturbation problems concerning Kirchhoff equaitons.
This paper is concerned with the existence of solutions to the problem $$-\left(a+ b\int_{\mathbb{R}^{N}}|\nabla u|^{2} dx \right)Δu +V(x)u+λu = |u|^{p-2}u,\ \ x \in \mathbb{R}^{N},\ \ λ\in \mathbb{R}^{+} $$ where $a, b>0$ are constants, $ V \geq 0$ is a potential, $N \geq 1 $, and $ p \in (2+ \frac{4}{N},2^*$). We use a more subtle analysis to revisit the limited problem($V \equiv 0$), and obtain a new energy inequality and bifurcation results. Based on these observations, we establish the existence of bound state normalized solutions under different assumptions on $V$. These conclusions exte…
In this paper we consider 6-superlinear Chern-Simons-Schrödinger systems. In contrast to most studies, we consider the case where the potential $V$ is indefinite so that the Schrödinger operator $-Δ+V$ possesses a finite-dimensional negative space. We obtain nontrivial solutions for the problem via Morse theory.
We consider the following $(p, q)$-Laplacian Kirchhoff type problem \begin{align*} \begin{split} &-\left(a+b\int_{\mathbb{R}^{3}}|\nabla u|^{p}\, dx \right)Δ_{p}u - \left(c+d\int_{\mathbb{R}^{3}}|\nabla u|^{q}\, dx \right ) Δ_{q}u + V(x) (|u|^{p-2}u + |u|^{q-2}u)= K(x) f(u) \quad \mbox{ in } \mathbb{R}^{3}, \end{split} \end{align*} where $a, b, c, d>0$ are constants, $\frac{3}{2}< p< q<3$, $V: \mathbb{R}^{3}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ and $K: \mathbb{R}^{3}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ are positive continuous functions allowed vanishing behavior at infinity, and $f$ is a continuous function with quasicr…
The fact that potentially skilled, but biologically later-maturing athletes are less likely to be selected into talent development programmes can represent a failure of Talent Identification in sports. In this article, we prove the existence of solutions for Kirchhoff type equations with Dirichlet boundaryvalue condition. We use the Mountain Pass Theorem in critical point theory, without the (PS) condition.
We consider a superlinear perturbation of the eigenvalue problem for the Robin Laplacian plus an indefinite and unbounded potential. Using variational tools and critical groups, we show that when $λ$ is close to a nonprincipal eigenvalue, then the problem has seven nontrivial solutions. We provide sign information for six of them.
We consider a nonlinear Robin problems driven by the $p$-Laplacian plus an indefinite potential. The reaction is resonant with respect to a variational eigenvalue. For the principal eigenvalue we assume strong resonance. Using variational tools and critical groups we prove existence and multiplicity theorems.
This paper blends two techniques recently developed in [2] and [3] to prove the presence of absolutely continuous spectrum for the multidimensional Schrodinger operator provided that the potential is summable over trajectory with positive probability. These trajectories are defined by Ito's equation and escape to infinity almost surely.
We consider a nonlinear Dirichlet problem driven by a variable exponent $p$-Laplacian plus an indefinite potential term. The reaction has the competing effects of a parametric concave (sublinear) term and of a convex (superlinear) perturbation (an anisotropic concave-convex problem). We prove a bifurcation-type theorem describing the changes in the set of positive solutions as the positive parameter $λ$ varies. Also, we prove the existence of minimal positive solutions.
We consider a nonlinear Robin problem driven by the $p$-Laplacian plus an indefinite potential. The reaction term is of arbitrary growth and only conditions near zero are imposed. Using critical point theory together with suitable truncation and perturbation techniques and comparison principles, we show that the problem admits a sequence of distinct smooth nodal solutions converging to zero in $C^1(\overlineΩ)$.
It is established the existence and multiplicity of weak solutions for a class of nonlocal equations involving the fractional laplacian, nonlinearities with critical exponential growth and potentials this is which may change sign. The proofs of our existence results rely on minimization methods in combination with the mountain-pass theorem.
In this paper we deal with the multiplicity and concentration of positive solutions for the following fractional Schrödinger-Kirchhoff type equation \begin{equation*} M\left(\frac{1}{\varepsilon^{3-2s}} \iint_{\mathbb{R}^{6}}\frac{|u(x)- u(y)|^{2}}{|x-y|^{3+2s}} dxdy + \frac{1}{\varepsilon^{3}} \int_{\mathbb{R}^{3}} V(x)u^{2} dx\right)[\varepsilon^{2s} (-Δ)^{s}u+ V(x)u]= f(u) \, \mbox{in} \mathbb{R}^{3} \end{equation*} where $\varepsilon>0$ is a small parameter, $s\in (\frac{3}{4}, 1)$, $(-Δ)^{s}$ is the fractional Laplacian, $M$ is a Kirchhoff function, $V$ is a continuous positive potential …
We study a nonlinear boundary value problem driven by the $p$-Laplacian plus an indefinite potential with Robin boundary condition. The reaction term is a Carathéodory function which is asymptotically resonant at $\pm\infty$ with respect to a nonprincipal Ljusternik-Schnirelmann eigenvalue. Using variational methods, together with Morse theory and truncation-perturbation techniques, we show that the problem has at least three nontrivial smooth solutions, two of which have a fixed sign.
We consider quasilinear Schrödinger equations in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$ of the form% \[ -Δu+V(x)u-uΔ(u^{2})=g(u)\text{,}% \] where $g(u)$ is $4$-superlinear. Unlike all known results in the literature, the Schrödinger operator $-Δ+V$ is allowed to be indefinite, hence the variational functional does not satisfy the mountain pass geometry. By a local linking argument and Morse theory, we obtain a nontrivial solution for the problem. In case that $g$ is odd, we get an unbounded sequence of solutions.
We consider a parametric semilinear Robin problem driven by the Laplacian plus an indefinite and unbounded potential. In the reaction, we have the competing effects of a concave term appearing with a negative sign and of an asymmetric asymptotically linear term which is resonant in the negative direction. Using variational methods together with truncation and perturbation techniques and Morse theory (critical groups) we prove two multiplicity theorems producing four and five respectively nontrivial smooth solutions when the parameter $λ>0$ is small.
This paper is concerned with the multiplicity and concentration behavior of nontrivial solutions for the following fractional Kirchhoff equation in presence of a magnetic field: \begin{equation*} \left(a\varepsilon^{2s}+b\varepsilon^{4s-3} [u]_{A/\varepsilon}^{2}\right)(-Δ)_{A/\varepsilon}^{s}u+V(x)u=f(|u|^{2})u \quad \mbox{ in } \mathbb{R}^{3}, \end{equation*} where $\varepsilon>0$ is a small parameter, $a, b>0$ are constants, $s\in (\frac{3}{4}, 1)$, $(-Δ)^{s}_{A}$ is the fractional magnetic Laplacian, $A:\mathbb{R}^{3}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{3}$ is a smooth magnetic potential, $V:\mathbb{R}…
In this paper, we study the multiplicity and concentration of the positive solutions to the following critical Kirchhoff type problem: \begin{equation*} -\left(\varepsilon^2 a+\varepsilon b\int_{\R^3}|\nabla u|^2\mathrm{d} x\right)Δu + V(x) u = f(u)+u^5\ \ {\rm in } \ \ \R^3, \end{equation*} where $\varepsilon$ is a small positive parameter, $a$, $b$ are positive constants, $V \in C(\mathbb{R}^3)$ is a positive potential, $f \in C^1(\R^+, \R)$ is a subcritical nonlinear term, $u^5$ is a pure critical nonlinearity. When $\varepsilon>0$ small, we establish the relationship between the number of …
We consider a nonlinear Dirichlet problem driven by a nonhomogeneous differential operator plus an indefinite potential. In the reaction we have the competing effects of a singular term and of concave and convex nonlinearities. In this paper the concave term is parametric. We prove a bifurcation-type theorem describing the changes in the set of positive solutions as the positive parameter $λ$ varies. This work continues our research published in arXiv:2004.12583, where $ξ\equiv 0 $ and in the reaction the parametric term is the singular one.
We consider a nonlinear elliptic equation driven by a nonhomogeneous differential operator plus an indefinite potential. On the reaction term we impose conditions only near zero. Using variational methods, together with truncation and perturbation techniques and critical groups, we produce three nontrivial solutions with sign information. In the semilinear case we improve this result by obtaining a second nodal solution for a total of four nontrivial solutions. Finally, under a symmetry condition on the reaction term, we generate a whole sequence of distinct nodal solutions.
We consider a nonlinear, nonhomogeneous Robin problem with an indefinite potential and a nonsmooth primitive in the reaction term. In fact, the right-hand side of the problem (reaction term) is the Clarke subdifferential of a locally Lipschitz integrand. We assume that asymptotically this term is resonant with respect the principal eigenvalue (from the left). We prove the existence of three nontrivial smooth solutions, two of constant sign and the third nodal. We also show the existence of extremal constant sign solutions. The tools come from nonsmooth critical point theory and from global opt…
The paper deals with existence and multiplicity of solutions of the fractional Schrödinger--Kirchhoff equation involving an external magnetic potential. As a consequence, the results can be applied to the special case \begin{equation*} (a+b[u]_{s,A}^{2θ-2})(-Δ)_A^su+V(x)u=f(x,|u|)u\,\, \quad \text{in $\mathbb{R}^N$}, \end{equation*} where $s\in (0,1)$, $N>2s$, $a\in \mathbb{R}^+_0$, $b\in \mathbb{R}^+_0$, $θ\in[1,N/(N-2s))$, $A:\mathbb{R}^N\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^N$ is a magnetic potential, $V:\mathbb{R}^N\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^+$ is an electric potential, $(-Δ)_A^s$ is the fractional magnetic o…
We consider a nonlinear elliptic equation driven by the Robin $p$-Laplacian plus an indefinite potential. In the reaction we have the competing effects of a strictly $(p-1)$-sublinear parametric term and of a $(p-1)$-linear and nonuniformly nonresonant term. We study the set of positive solutions as the parameter $λ>0$ varies. We prove a bifurcation-type result for large values of the positive parameter $λ$. Also, we show that for all admissible $λ>0$, the problem has a smallest positive solution $\overline{u}_λ$ and we study the monotonicity and continuity properties of the map $λ\mapsto\over…
In this paper, we consider the following Kirchhoff type equation $$ -\left(a+ b\int_{\R^3}|\nabla u|^2\right)\triangle {u}+V(x)u=f(u),\,\,x\in\R^3, $$ where $a,b>0$ and $f\in C(\R,\R)$, and the potential $V\in C^1(\R^3,\R)$ is positive, bounded and satisfies suitable decay assumptions. By using a new perturbation approach together with a new version of global compactness lemma of Kirchhoff type, we prove the existence and multiplicity of bound state solutions for the above problem with a general nonlinearity. We especially point out that neither the corresponding Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz conditio…
In this paper, we consider the initial boundary value problem for a pseudo-parabolic Kirchhoff equation with logarithmic nonlinearity. We use the potential well method to give a threshold result of global existence and finite-time blow-up for the weak solutions with initial energy $J(u_0)\leq d$. When the initial energy $J(u_0)>d$, we find another criterion for the vanishing solution and blow-up solution. We also get the exponential decay rate of the global solution and life span of the blow-up solution. Meanwhile, we study the corresponding stationary problem and establish a convergence relat…
It is established existence of bound and ground state solutions for quasilinear elliptic systems driven by (ϕ1, ϕ2)-Laplacian operator. The main feature here is to consider quasilinear elliptic systems involving both nonsingular nonlinearities combined with indefinite potentials and singular cases perturbed by superlinear and subcritical couple terms. These prevent us to use arguments based on Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition and variational methods for differentiable functionals. By exploring the Nehari method and doing a fine analysis on the fibering map associated, we get estimates that allo…

By applying the method of penalized functions, the existence of one nontrivial solution for such system in the less-studied case $3<p\leq4$ is obtained for $λ$ sufficiently large. The concentration behavior of thi…
We study perturbations of the eigenvalue problem for the negative Laplacian plus an indefinite and unbounded potential and Robin boundary condition. First we consider the case of a sublinear perturbation and then of a superlinear perturbation. For the first case we show that for $λ<\widehatλ_{1}$ ($\widehatλ_{1}$ being the principal eigenvalue) there is one positive solution which is unique under additional conditions on the perturbation term. For $λ\geq\widehatλ_{1}$ there are no positive solutions. In the superlinear case, for $λ<\widehatλ_{1}$ we have at least two positive solutions and for…

In this paper, we are concerned with the Neumann problem for a class of quasilinear stationary Kirchhoff-type potential systems, which involves general variable exponents elliptic operators with critical growth and real positive parameter. We show that the problem has at least one solution, which converges to zero in the norm of the space as the real positive parameter tends to infinity, via combining the truncation technique, variational method, and the concentration-compactness principle for variable exponent under suitable assumptions on the nonlinearities.
The existence of two nontrivial smooth solutions to a semilinear Robin problem with indefinite unbounded potential and asymmetric nonlinearity $f$ is established. Both crossing and resonance are allowed. A third nonzero solution exists provided $f$ is $C^1$. Proofs exploit variational methods, truncation techniques, and Morse theory.
In this paper, we study the following nonlinear problem of Kirchhoff type with critical Sobolev exponent: -\left(a+b\ds\int_{\R^3}|D u|^2\right)Δu+u=f(x,u)+u^{5}, u\in H^1(\R^3), u>0, $x\in \R^3$ where a,b>0 are constants. Under certain assumptions on the sign-changing function $f(x,u)$, we prove the existence of positive solutions by variational methods. Our main results can be viewed as a partial extension of a recent result of He and Zou in [17] concerning the existence of positive solutions to the nonlinear Kirchhoff problem \left(\varepsilon^2a+\varepsilon b\ds\int_{\R^3}|D u|^2\right)Δu+…
In this paper, we study the following nonlinear problem of Kirchhoff type with pure power nonlinearities: (a+b\ds\int_{\R^3}|D u|^2\right)Δu+V(x)u=|u|^{p-1}u, u\in H^1(\R^3), u>0, $x\in \R^3, where $a,$ $b>0$ are constants, $2<p<5$ and $V:\R^3\rightarrow\R$. Under certain assumptions on $V$, we prove that \eqref{0.1} has a positive ground state solution by using a monotonicity trick and a new version of global compactness lemma.

In this paper, we consider a class of quasilinear stationary Kirchhoff type potential systems with Neumann Boundary conditions, which involves a general variable exponent elliptic operator with critical growth. Under some suitable conditions on the nonlinearities, we establish existence and multiplicity of solutions for the problem by using the concentration-compactness principle of Lions for variable exponents found in [5, 7] and the Mountain Pass Theorem without the Palais-Smale condition given in [43].
