Abstract

In this article, we study the Kirchhoff type problem -(α + ε ∫ℝ3 K(x)|∇u|2dx) div(K(x)∇u) = λK(x)ƒ(x)|u|q-2u + K(x)|u|4u, where x ∈ ℝ3, 1 < q < 2, K(x) = exp(|x|α/4) with α ≥ 2, ε > 0 is small enough, and the parameters α, λ > 0. Under some assumptions on ƒ(x), we establish the existence of two nonnegative nontrivial solutions and obtain uniform lower estimates for extremal values of the problem via variational methods.
