Abstract

Consider the following mm-polyharmonic Kirchhoff problem: \begin{eqnarray} \label{ea} \begin{cases} M\left(\int_{\O}|D_r u|^{m} +a|u|^m\right)[\Delta^r_m u +a|u|^{m-2}u]= K(x)f(u) &\mbox{in}\quad \Omega, \\ u=\left(\frac{\partial}{\partial \nu}\right)^k u=0, \quad &\mbox{on}\quad \partial\Omega, \quad k=1, 2,..... , r-1, \end{cases} \end{eqnarray} where rNr \in \N^*, m>1m >1, Nrm+1N\geq rm+1, a0a\geq 0, KL(\O)K\in L^{\infty}(\O) is a positive weight function, MC([0,+))M \in C([0,+\infty)) and fC(R)f\in C(\mathbb{R}) which will be specified later. We will study problem \eqref{ea} in the following different type of domains: \begin{enumerate} \item a=0a=0 and KL(\O)K\in L^{\infty}(\O) is a positive weight function if Ω\Omega is a smooth bounded domain of RN\R^N. \item a>0a>0 and KL(\O)Lp(\O)K\in L^{\infty}(\O)\cap L^{p}(\O), p1p \geq 1 if Ω\Omega is an unbounded smooth domain. \item \O=RN\O=\R^N and a=0a=0 (which called the mγm\gamma-zero mass case). \end{enumerate} We prove the existence of infinitely many solutions of \eqref{ea} for some odd functions ff in uu satisfying subcritical growth conditions at infinity which are weaker than the analogue of the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition and the standard subcritical polynomial growth. The new aspect consists in employing the Schauder basis of W0r,m(\O)W_0^{r,m}(\O) to verify the geometry of the symmetric mountain pass theorem without any control on ff near 00 if Ω\Omega is a bounded domain and under a suitable condition at 00 if Ω\Omega is a unbounded domain allowing only to derive the variational setting of \eqref{ea}. Moreover, we introduce a positive quantity λM\lambda_M similar to the first eigenvalue of the mm-polyharmonic operator to find a mountain pass solution.
