Normalized solutions to a class of Kirchhoff type equations with a logarithmic perturbation
Abstract
This paper is devoted to the study of normalized solutions to the Kirchhoff type equation with a logarithmic perturbationunder the normalized constraint , where , , is a constant, and emerges as a Lagrange multiplier which is not a priori known. A unified variational framework is developed based on Orlicz spaces together with the Pohozaev constraint method and refined fiber map analysis. For or with small mass, the energy functional is bounded from below and admits a positive radial ground state minimizer. For , where the energy functional is unbounded from below, we establish the existence of two normalized solutions for small mass: a ground state obtained via local minimization, and a second solution obtained via minimization on the negative component of the Pohozaev manifold. For the Sobolev critical case , we construct a ground state solution and, under a technical condition on the parameters, a second solution by introducing a proper auxiliary functional and precise energy estimates with Aubin-Talenti bubbles. Asymptotically as , the norm of the gradient of ground state solution vanishes for . Surprisingly, for , the norm of the gradient of the second solution diverges to infinity as , while for it concentrates around the Aubin-Talenti bubble with energy converging to the energy level of the corresponding critical Kirchhoff equation.
