On the existence of solutions for a class of fourth order elliptic equations of Kirchhoff type with variable exponent

In this paper, we consider a class of fourth order elliptic equations of Kirchhoff type with variable exponent ( ∆2 p(x) u − M R Ω 1 p(x) |∇u| p(x) dx ∆p(x)u = λf(x, u) in Ω, u = ∆u = 0 on ∂Ω, where Ω ⊂ R N , N ≥ 3, is a smooth bounded domain, M(t) = a + btκ , a, κ > 0, b ≥ 0, λ is...

Description
Summary:In this paper, we consider a class of fourth order elliptic equations of Kirchhoff type with variable exponent ( ∆2 p(x) u − M R Ω 1 p(x) |∇u| p(x) dx ∆p(x)u = λf(x, u) in Ω, u = ∆u = 0 on ∂Ω, where Ω ⊂ R N , N ≥ 3, is a smooth bounded domain, M(t) = a + btκ , a, κ > 0, b ≥ 0, λ is a positive parameter, ∆2 p(x) u = ∆(|∆u| p(x)−2∆u) is the operator of fourth order called the p(x)-biharmonic operator, ∆p(x)u = div |∇u| p(x)−2∇u is the p(x)-Laplacian, p : Ω → R is a log-Hölder continuous function and f : Ω × R → R is a continuous function satisfying some certain conditions. Using Ekeland’s variational principle combined with variational techniques, an existence result is established in an appropriate function spac
