Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the existence, multiplicity and asymptotic property of positive solutions for a Kirchhoff type problem with indefinite conditions. The existence, multiplicity of positive solutions are obtained by using variational method and the critical point theory, and then combing with some analytical techniques, we have the asymptotic property of positive solutions when \(\lambda\) approach 0.
