Existence of ground state solution for a class of one-dimensional Kirchhoff-type equations with asymptotically cubic nonlinearities (Q6156218)

In this paper, the author considers the following Kirchoff-type equation \[-\Big(1+\int_{\mathbb{R}} |u'|^2dx\Big)u''+p(x)u=l(x)u^3+f(x,u),~~ x\in \mathbb{R},\] where \(p,l\in C(\mathbb{R})\) and \(f\in C(\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R}).\) By using the Non-Nehari manifold method in combination with the Mountain Pass Theorem and concentration-compactness argument, the existence of a ground state solution to the above equation is established, in the case when the nonlinearity is asymptotically cubic with respect to the unknown function.
