Existence and multiplicity of solutions for Kirchhoff type equations

Abstract In this paper, the existence and multiplicity of weak solutions are obtained for a class of Kirchhoff type problems with Dirichlet boundary value conditions by using the mountain pass theorem, the local linking theorem, the fountain theorem and the symmetric mountain pass lemma in critical point theory.
