Abstract
In this article we study the Kirchhoff type equation
-(1 + b ∫ℝ3 |∇u|2dx) ∆u + u = k(x) ƒ(u) + λh(x)u, x ∈ ℝ3,
u ∈ H1(ℝ3),
involving a linear part -∆u + u - λh(x)u which is coercive if 0 < λ < λ1(h)
and is noncoercive if λ > λ1(h), a nonlocal nonlinear term -b ∫ℝ3 |∇u|2dx∆u
and a sign-changing nonlinearity of the form k(x) ƒ(s), where b > 0, λ > 0 is a real
parameter and λ1(h) is the first eigenvalue of -∆u + u = λh(x)u. Under suitable assumptions on ƒ and h, we obtain positives solution for λ ∈ (0, λ1(h)) and two positive solutions with a condition on k.
