EXISTENCE OF POSITIVE SOLUTION FOR INDEFINITE KIRCHHOFF EQUATION IN EXTERIOR DOMAINS WITH SUBCRITICAL OR CRITICAL GROWTH

  • G. M. FIGUEIREDO (a1) and D. C. DE MORAIS FILHO (a2)
Abstract

Using variational methods and depending on a parameter $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}$ we prove the existence of solutions for the following class of nonlocal boundary value problems of Kirchhoff type defined on an exterior domain $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}\subset \mathbb{R}^{3}$ :

$$\begin{eqnarray}\left\{\begin{array}{@{}ll@{}}M(\Vert u\Vert ^{2})[-\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E5}u+u]=\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}a(x)g(u)+\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}|u|^{4}u\quad & \text{in }\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA},\\ u=0\quad & \text{on }\unicode[STIX]{x2202}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA},\end{array}\right.\end{eqnarray}$$
for the subcritical case ( $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}=0$ ) and also for the critical case ( $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}=1$ ).
