On the compactness threshold in the critical Kirchhoff equation

Analysis of PDEs 2020-12-22 v3

Abstract

We study a class of critical Kirchhoff problems with a general nonlocal term. The main difficulty here is the absence of a closed-form formula for the compactness threshold. First we obtain a variational characterization of this threshold level. Then we prove a series of existence and multiplicity results based on this variational characterization.
