The existence result for a class of \(p\)-Kirchhoff-type problem with a multilinear growth nonlinearity (Q2296492)

Summary: In this paper, we firstly discuss the existence of the least energy sign-changing solutions for a class of \(p\)-Kirchhoff-type problems with a \((2 p - 1)\)-linear growth nonlinearity. The quantitative deformation lemma and Non-Nehari manifold method are used in the paper to prove the main results. Remarkably, we use a new method to verify that \(\mathcal{M}_b \ne \emptyset \). The main results of our paper are the existence of the least energy sign-changing solution and its corresponding energy doubling property. Moreover, we also give the convergence property of the least energy sign-changing solution as the parameter \(b \searrow 0\).
