Infinitely many solutions for sublinear Kirchhoff equations in R^N with sign-changing potentials

Anouar Bahrouni

Abstract:
In this article we study the Kirchhoff equation
$$ -\Big(a+b \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}|\nabla u|^2dx\Big)\Delta u+V(x)u = K(x)|u|^{q-1}u, \quad\hbox{in }\mathbb{R}^N, $$
where $N\geq 3$, $0<q<1$, $a,b>0$ are constants and $K(x), V(x)$ both change sign in $\mathbb{R}^N$. Under appropriate assumptions on $K(x), V(x)$, the existence of infinitely many solutions is proved by using the symmetric Mountain Pass Theorem.
