Abstract

In this article, we study the Kirchhoff type equation (α + λ ∫ℝ3 |∇u|2 + λb ∫ℝ3u2) [-∆u + bu] = K(x)|u|p-1u, in ℝ3, where α, b > 0, p ∈ (2, 5), λ ≥ 0 is a parameter, and K may be an unbounded potential function. By using variational methods, we prove the existence of nontrivial solutions for the above equation. A cut-off functional and some estimates are used to obtain the bounded Palais-Smale sequences.
