Abstract: In this paper we present a very simple proof of the existence of at least one non trivial solution for a Kirchhoff type equation on RN, for Nge3. In particular, in the first part of the paper we are interested in studying the existence of a positive solution to the elliptic Kirchhoff equation under the effect of a nonlinearity satisfying the general Berestycki-Lions assumptions. In the second part we look for ground states using minimizing arguments on a suitable natural constraint.


The author proves the existence of a positive solution on \(C^2(\mathbb {R}^N)\) to the equation NEWLINE\[NEWLINE -M(\int _{\mathbb {R}^N}| \nabla u| ^2)\Delta u=g(u) NEWLINE\]NEWLINE in \(\mathbb {R}^N\), (\(N\geq 3\)) for zero-mass Berestycki-Lions nonlinearity. In the second part of the paper the existence of a ground-state solution of the above equation with \(M(s)=a+bs\), \(g(u)\) being a zero-mass Berestycki-Lions nonlinearity and \(N=3,4\), is studied.
