Solutions to discrete nonlinear Kirchhoff-Choquard equations

In this paper, we study the discrete Kirchhoff-Choquard equation $$-\left(a+b \int_{\mathbb{Z}^3}|\nabla u|^{2} d \mu\right) \Delta u+V(x) u=\left(R_{\alpha} *F(u)\right)f(u),\quad x\in \mathbb{Z}^3,$$ where $a,\,b>0$ are constants, $R_{\alpha}$ is the Green's function of the discrete fractional Laplacian with $\alpha \in(0,3)$, which has no singularity but has same asymptotics as the Riesz potential. Under some suitable assumptions on $V$ and $f$, we prove the existence of nontrivial solutions and ground state solutions by variational methods.
