Eigenvalue problems for p(x)-Kirchhoff type equations

Ghasem A. Afrouzi, Maryam Mirzapour

Abstract:
In this article, we study the nonlocal $p(x)$-Laplacian problem
$$\displaylines{ -M\Big(\int_{\Omega}\frac{1}{p(x)}|\nabla u|^{p(x)}dx\Big) \hbox{div}(|\nabla u|^{p(x)-2}\nabla u)= \lambda|u|^{q(x)-2}u \quad \text{ in } \Omega,\cr u=0 \quad \text{on } \partial\Omega, }$$
By means of variational methods and the theory of the variable exponent Sobolev spaces, we establish conditions for the existence of weak solutions.

A corrigendum was posted on August 27, 2014. It modifies inequality (3.1), and deletes assumption (M2). This is necessary because there is no function satisying the original assumptions (M1) and (M2). See the last page of this article.
