Existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for \(p\)-Kirchhoff type problem with singularity (Q525007)

The authors consider the following \(p\)-Kirchhoff type problem \[ \begin{cases} -\mathcal{M}\Big(\int_{\Omega}\left|\nabla u\right|^{p}dx\Big)\Delta_{p}u=\lambda f(x)u^{-r}+g(x)u^{q-1}\quad \text{in}\quad \Omega,\\ u=0\quad\text{on}\quad \partial\Omega, \end{cases}\leqno(1) \] where \(\Delta_{p}u=\operatorname{div}(\left|\nabla u\right|^{p-2}\nabla u)\), \(\Omega\) is a smooth bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^{N}\), \(0<r<1<p<q<p^{*}\) (\(p^{*}=\frac{Np}{N-p}\) if \(N>p\) and \(p^{*}=\infty\) if \(N\leq p\)), \(\mathcal{M}(s)=as^{p-1}+b\) and \(a,b,\lambda>0\), \(f,g\in C(\overline{\Omega})\) are nontrivial nonnegative functions. By using variational methods, they prove, under suitable conditions on \(p,q,\lambda\), that problem (1) has at least two positive solutions.
