“…Some related results can be found, for example, in Arosio and Panizzi [7], Autuori, Colasuonno and Pucci [8], Autuori, Pucci and Salvatori [12], Counsin, Frota, Lar'kin and Medeiros [19], and D'Ancona and Spagnolo [20]. We also point out that Arosio and Panizzi [7] studied the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem related to (1) [16] pointed out that this kind of problems models several physical and biological systems, where u describes a process depending on the average of itself (for example, population density). We also refer to Colasuonno and Pucci [18], which covers for the first time in the literature the degenerate case of the Kirchhoff equation for the existence of solutions in the elliptic case.…”
