Abstract: We study the ground states of the following generalization of the Kirchhoff-Love functional, ${\displaystyle }$J_sigma(u)=int_Omegadfrac{(Delta u)^2}{2} - (1-sigma)int_Omega det( abla^2u)-int_Omega F(x,u),${\displaystyle }$ where $Omega$ is a bounded convex domain in $mathbb{R}^2$ with $C^{1,1}$ boundary and the nonlinearities involved are of sublinear type or superlinear with power growth. These critical points correspond to least-energy weak solutions to a fourth-order semilinear boundary value problem with Steklov boundary conditions depending on $sigma$. Positivity of ground states is proved with different techniques according to the range of the parameter $sigmainmathbbR$ and we also provide a convergence analysis for the ground states with respect to $sigma$. Further results concerning positive radial solutions are established when the domain is a ball.
