A non-trivial solution for a \(p\)-Schrödinger-Kirchhoff-type integro-differential system by non-smooth techniques (Q6058534)

The authors consider an integro-differential system with a potential whose infimum is strictly positive and satisfying a coercivity property introduced by \textit{T. Bartsch} et al. [Commun. Contemp. Math. 3, No. 4, 549--569 (2001; Zbl 1076.35037)]. The coupling function is locally Lipschitz and verifies conditions introduced by \textit{L. Duan} and \textit{L. Huang} [Appl. Math. Comput. 235, 174--186 (2014; Zbl 1334.35042)]. These equations appear in spatial diffusion of a biological population model. By applying tools from non-smooth critical point theory, the authors prove the existence of a non-trivial mountain pass solution.
