In this paper, we consider the following Kirchhoff-type problems involving critical exponent −a+b∫Ω∇u2dxΔu+Vxu=μu2∗−1+λgx,u, x∈Ωu>0, x∈Ωu=0, x∈∂Ω. The existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for Kirchhoff-type equations with a nonlinearity in the critical growth are studied under some suitable assumptions on Vx and gx,u. By using the mountain pass theorem and Brézis–Lieb lemma, the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions are obtained.

Abstract This paper concerns the existence and multiplicity of solutions for the Schrődinger–Kirchhoff type problems involving the fractional p–Laplacian and critical exponent. As a particular case, we study the following degenerate Kirchhoff-type nonlocal problem: $$\begin{align}& \left\| u \right\|_{\lambda }^{\left( \theta -1 \right)p}\left[ \lambda \left( -\Delta \right)_{p}^{s}u+V\left( x \right){{\left| u \right|}^{p-2}}u \right]={{\left| u \right|}^{p_{s}^{\star }-2}}u+f\left( x,u \right)\,in\,{{\mathbb{R}}^{N}}, \\ & {{\left\| u \right\|}_{\lambda }}={{\left( \lambda \int\limits_{\mathbb{R}}{\int\limits_{2N}{\frac{{{\left| u\left( x \right)-u\left( y \right) \right|}^{p}}}{{{\left| x-y \right|}^{N+ps}}}}dxdy+\int\limits_{{{\mathbb{R}}^{N}}}{V\left( x \right){{\left| u \right|}^{p}}dx}} \right)}^{{1}/{p}\;}} \\ \end{align}$$ where $\left( -\Delta \right)_{p}^{s}$is the fractional p–Laplacian with 0 < s < 1 < p < N/s, $p_{s}^{\star }={Np}/{\left( N-ps \right)}\;$is the critical fractional Sobolev exponent, λ > 0 is a real parameter, $1<\theta \le {p_{s}^{\star }}/{p}\;,$and f : ℝN × ℝ → ℝ is a Carathéodory function satisfying superlinear growth conditions. For $\theta \in \left( 1,{p_{s}^{\star }}/{p}\; \right),$by using the concentration compactness principle in fractional Sobolev spaces, we show that if f(x, t) is odd with respect to t, for any m ∈ ℕ+ there exists a Λm > 0 such that the above problem has m pairs of solutions for all λ ∈ (0, Λm]. For $\theta ={p_{s}^{\star }}/{p}\;,$by using Krasnoselskii’s genus theory, we get the existence of infinitely many solutions for the above problem for λ large enough. The main features, as well as the main difficulties, of this paper are the facts that the Kirchhoff function is zero at zero and the potential function satisfies the critical frequency infx∈ℝ V(x) = 0. In particular, we also consider that the Kirchhoff term satisfies the critical assumption and the nonlinear term satisfies critical and superlinear growth conditions. To the best of our knowledge, our results are new even in p–Laplacian case.

In this paper, we study the decomposition of the Nehari manifold by exploiting the combination of concave and convex nonlinearities. The result is subsequently used, in conjunction with the Ljusternik–Schnirelmann category and variational methods, to prove the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for an indefinite elliptic problem involving a critical Sobolev exponent.

We consider the following problem:where is continuous on RN and h(x)≢0. By using Ekeland's variational principle and the Mountain Pass Theorem without (PS) conditions, through a careful inspection of the energy balance for the approximated solutions, we show that the probelm (*) has at least two solutions for some λ* > 0 and λ ∈ (0, λ*). In particular, if p = 2, in a different way we prove that problem (*) with λ ≡ 1 and h(x) ≧ 0 has at least two positive solutions as
