Multiplicity of solutions for a class of Kirchhoff type problems

In this paper we apply the (variant) fountain theorems to study the symmetric nonlinear Kirchhoff nonlocal problems. Under the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz’s 4-superlinearity condition, or no Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz’s 4-superlinearity condition, we present two results of existence of infinitely many large energy solutions, respectively.
