Abstract

In this paper, we study the existence of infinitely many nontrivial solutions for a class of nonlinear Kirchhoff-type equation

$$-\left(a+b\int\limits_{\mathbb{R}^{N}}|\nabla_{\lambda}u|^{2}dx\right)\Delta_{\lambda}u+V(x)u=f(x,u),\quad\text{in }\mathbb{R}^{N}$$

where constants \(a>0,\ b>0\)\(\Delta_{\lambda}\) is a strongly degenerate elliptic operator, and \(f\) is a function with a more general superlinear conditions or sublinear conditions.
