Abstract

In this paper, we show the existence and multiplicity of solutions for the following fourth-order Kirchhoff type elliptic equations \begin{eqnarray*} \Delta^{2}u-M(\|\nabla u\|_{2}^{2})\Delta u+V(x)u=f(x,u),\ \ \ \ \ x\in \mathbb{R}^{N}, \end{eqnarray*} where M(t):RRM(t):\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R} is the Kirchhoff function, f(x,u)=λk(x,u)+h(x,u)f(x,u)=\lambda k(x,u)+ h(x,u), λ0\lambda\geq0, k(x,u)k(x,u) is of sublinear growth and h(x,u)h(x,u) satisfies some general 3-superlinear growth conditions at infinity. We show the existence of at least one solution for above equations for λ=0\lambda=0. For λ>0\lambda>0 small enough, we obtain at least two nontrivial solutions. Furthermore, if f(x,u)f(x,u) is odd in uu, we show that above equations possess infinitely many solutions for all λ0\lambda\geq0. Our theorems generalize some known results in the literatures even for λ=0\lambda=0 and our proof is based on the variational methods.
