ABSTRACT

The present paper deals with a nonlocal problem under homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions, set in a bounded smooth domain Ω of RN. The problem studied is a stationary version of the original Kirchhoff equation involving the p-Laplace operator. The question of the existence of weak solutions is treated. Using variational approach and applying the Mountain Pass Theorem together with Fountain theorem, the existence and multiplicity of solutions is obtained in the Sobolev space W1,p(Ω).
