We study the concentration and multiplicity of weak solutions to the Kirchhoff type equation with critical Sobolev growth where ε is a small positive parameter and a, b > 0 are constants, f ∈ C 1 (R + , R) is subcritical, V : R 3 → R is a locally Hölder continuous function. We first prove that for ε 0 > 0 sufficiently small, the above problem has a weak solution u ε with exponential decay at infinity. Moreover, u ε concentrates around a local minimum point of V in Λ as ε → 0. With minimax theorems and Ljusternik-Schnirelmann theory, we also obtain multiple solutions by employing the topology construct of the set where the potential V (z) attains its minimum.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
