Abstract
In this article, we study the following nonhomogeneous Schrödinger–Kirchhoff-type equation
where \(a>0,b\ge 0\). Under the suitable assumptions of V(x), f(x, u), and h(x), we prove the existence of nontrivial solution using the Mountain Pass Theorem. In addition, infinitely many high-energy solutions are obtained by two kinds of methods (i.e., Symmetry Mountain Pass Theorem and Fountain Theorem) when \(h(x)=0\). Moreover, we also show infinitely many radial solutions of this equation.
