In this paper we are concerned with some $p$-Kirchhoff type problems involving sign-changing weight functions. We prove the existence of multiple positive solutions of the problem via the Nehari manifold approach.
For a degenerate autonomous Kirchhoff equation which is set on $\mathbb{R}^N$ and involves the Berestycki-Lions type nonlinearity, we cope with the cases $N=2,3$ and $N\geq5$ by using mountain pass and symmetric mountain pass approaches and by using Clark theorem respectively.
We study a class of critical Kirchhoff problems with a general nonlocal term. The main difficulty here is the absence of a closed-form formula for the compactness threshold. First we obtain a variational characterization of this threshold level. Then we prove a series of existence and multiplicity results based on this variational characterization.
This article concerns on the existence of multiple solutions for a new Kirchhoff-type problem with negative modulus. We prove that there exist three nontrivial solutions when the parameter is enough small via the variational methods and algebraic analysis. Moreover, our fundamental technique is one of the Mountain Pass Lemma, Ekeland variational principle, and Minimax principle.
This paper is concerned with an elliptic system of Kirchhoff type, driven by the variable-order fractional $p(x)$-operator. With the help of the direct variational method and Ekeland variational principle, we show the existence of a weak solution. This is our first attempt to study this kind of system, in the case of variable-order fractional variable exponents. Our main theorem extends in several directions previous results.
This paper is devoted to the study of the following autonomous Kirchhoff-type equation $$-M\left(\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}|\nabla{u}|^2\right)Δ{u}= f(u),~~~~u\in H^1(\mathbb{R}^N),$$ where $M$ is a continuous non-degenerate function and $N\geq2$. Under suitable additional conditions on $M$ and general Berestycki-Lions type assumptions on the nonlinearity $f$, we establish several existence results of multiple solutions by variational methods, which are also naturally interpreted from a non-variational point of view.
In this paper, we study the existence of three solutions for a Kirchhoff equation involving the nonlocal fractional p-Laplacian considering Sobolev and Hardy nonlinearities at subcritical and critical growths. The proof is based on Mountain Pass Theorem, Ekeland's variational principle and constrained minimization in Nehari sets.
We study a nonlocal parametric problem driven by the fractional Laplacian operator combined with a Kirchhoff-type coefficient and involving a critical nonlinearity term in the sense of Sobolev embeddings. Our approach is of variational and topological nature. The obtained results can be viewed as a nontrivial extension to the nonlocal setting of some recent contributions already present in the literature.
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 study two classes of Kirchhoff type problems set on a double phase framework. That is, the functional space where finding solutions coincides with the Musielak-Orlicz-Sobolev space $W^{1,\mathcal H}_0(Ω)$, with modular function $\mathcal H$ related to the so called double phase operator. Via a variational approach, we provide existence and multiplicity results.
In this paper we prove the existence of positive ground state solution for a class of linearly coupled systems involving Kirchhoff-Schrödinger equations. We study the subcritical and critical case. Our approach is variational and based on minimization technique over the Nehari manifold. We also obtain a nonexistence result using a Pohozaev identity type.
This paper deals with the existence and the asymptotic behavior of non-negative solutions for a class of stationary Kirchhoff problems driven by a fractional integro-differential operator $\mathcal L_K$ and involving a critical nonlinearity. The main feature, as well as the main difficulty, of the analysis is the fact that the Kirchhoff function $M$ can be zero at zero, that is the problem is degenerate. The adopted techniques are variational and the main theorems extend in several directions previous results recently appeared in the literature.
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.
This paper deals with some classes of Kirchhoff type problems on a double phase setting and with nonlinear boundary conditions. Under general assumptions, we provide multiplicity results for such problems in the case when the perturbations exhibit a suitable behavior in the origin and at infinity, or when they do not necessarily satisfy the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. To this aim, we combine variational methods, truncation arguments and topological tools.
In this paper we study the Kirchhoff problem \begin{equation*} \left \{ \begin{array}{ll} -m(\| u \|^{2})Δu = f(u) & \mbox{in $Ω$,} u=0 & \mbox{on $\partialΩ$,} \end{array}\right. \end{equation*} in a bounded domain, allowing the function $m$ to vanish in many different points. Under an appropriated {\sl area condition}, by using a priori estimates, truncation techniques and variational methods, we prove a multiplicity result of positive solutions which are ordered in the $H_{0}^{1}(Ω)$-norm.
The present paper deals with a parametrized Kirchhoff type problem involving a critical nonlinearity in high dimension. Existence, non existence and multiplicity of solutions are obtained under the effect of a subcritical perturbation by combining variational properties with a careful analysis of the fiber maps of the energy functional associated to the problem. The particular case of a pure power perturbation is also addressed. Through the study of the Nehari manifolds we extend the general case to a wider range of the parameters.
In this paper, we study the existence of least energy sign-changing solutions for a Kirchhoff-type problem involving the fractional Laplacian operator. By using the constraint variational method and quantitative deformation lemma, we obtain a least energy nodal solution ub for the given problem. Moreover, we show that the energy of ub is strictly larger than twice the ground state energy. We also give a convergence property of u_b as b goes to 0, where b is regarded as a parameter.
In this paper, we study the existence of least energy nodal solutions for some class of Kirchhoff type problems. Since Kirchhoff equation is a nonlocal one, the variational setting to look for sign-changing solutions is different from the local cases. By using constrained minimization on the sign-changing Nehari manifold, we prove the Kirchhoff problem has a least energy nodal solution with its energy exceeding twice the least energy. As a co-product of our approaches, we obtain the existence of least energy sign-changing solution for Choquard equations and show that the sign-changing solution…

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 in…

Then, as applications, we derive the existence and local uniqueness of solutions to the perturbed Kirchhoff problem \begin{eqnarray*} -\left(ε^2a+εb\int_{\mathbb{R}^{3}}|\nabla u|^{2}\right)Δu+V(x)u=|u|^{p-1}u & & \text{in }\mathbb{R}^{3} \end{eqnarray*} for $ε>0$ sufficiently small, under some mild assump…
We study a superlinear and subcritical Kirchhoff type equation which is variational and depends upon a real parameter $λ$. The nonlocal term forces some of the fiber maps associated with the energy functional to have two critical points. This suggest multiplicity of solutions and indeed we show the existence of a local minimum and a mountain pass type solution. We characterize the first parameter $λ_0^*$ for which the local minimum has non-negative energy when $λ\ge λ_0^*$. Moreover we characterize the extremal parameter $λ^*$ for which if $λ>λ^*$, then the only solution to the Kirchhoff equat…

Under certain assumptions on the sign-changing function $f(x,u)$, we prove the existence of positive solutions by variational methods.

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.

We construct a family of rotating vortex patches with fixed angular velocity for the two-dimensional Euler equations in a disk. As the vorticity strength goes to infinity, the limit of these rotating vortex patches is a rotating point vortex whose motion is described by the Kirchhoff-Routh equation. The construction is performed by solving a variational problem for the vorticity which is based on an adaption of Arnold's variational principle. We also prove nonlinear orbital stability of the set of maximizers in the variational problem under $L^p$ perturbation when $p\in[{3}/{2},+\infty)$.
