Abstract

In the present paper, we study the existence of infinitely many solutions for \(p(\textrm{x},\cdot )\)-fractional Kirchhoff-type elliptic equation involving logarithmic-type nonlinearities. Our approach is based on the computation of the critical groups in the nonlinear fractional elliptic problem of type \(p(\textrm{x},\cdot )\)-Kirchhoff, the Morse relation combined with variational methods.
