Existence of solutions for p-Kirchhoff type problems with critical exponent

Ahmed Hamydy, Mohammed Massar, Najib Tsouli

Abstract:
We study the existence of solutions for the p-Kirchhoff type problem involving the critical Sobolev exponent,
$$\displaylines{ -\Big[g\Big(\int_\Omega|\nabla u|^pdx\Big)\Big]\Delta_pu =\lambda f(x,u)+|u|^{p^\star-2}u\quad\hbox{in }\Omega,\cr u=0\quad\hbox{on }\partial\Omega, }$$
where $\Omega$ is a bounded smooth domain of $\mathbb{R}^N$, $1<p<N$, $p^\star=Np/(N-p)$ is the critical Sobolev exponent, $\lambda$ is a positive parameter, f and g are continuous functions. The main results of this paper establish, via the variational method. The concentration-compactness principle allows to prove that the Palais-Smale condition is satisfied below a certain level.
