Existence of solutions for a Kirchhoff problem involving p(x) - biharmonic operator

Abstract

This article is dealt with a Kirchhoff problem involving p(x) - biharmonic operator. By means of the Variational method and Ekeland’s variational principle, we establish the existence of a nontrivial weak solution in Sobolev spaces with variable exponent under some appropriate condition.

Keywords

Ekeland’s variational principle, Kirchhoff problem, p(x)-biharmonic operator, weak solution, Variational method.
