Existence Results for a Nonlocal Problem Involving the p-Laplace Operator

The present paper deals with a nonlocal problem under homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions, set in a bounded smooth domain Ω of R N. The problem studied is a stationary version of the original Kirchhoff equation involving the p-Laplace operator. The question of the existence of weak solutions is treated. Using vari- ational approach and applying the Mountain Pass Theorem together with Fountain theorem, the existence and multiplicity of solutions is obtained in the Sobolev space W 1;p (Ω).
