Abstract

In this paper, we study the existence of ground state solutions to the nonlinear Kirchho- type equations -m(||∇u||2 L2(RN)) Δu + V (x)u = |u|p-1u in RN; u ∈ H1(RN); N ≥ 1 where 1 < p < ∞ when N = 1; 2, 1 < p < (N + 2)=(N - 2) when N ≥ 3, m : [0,∞) → (0,∞) is a continuous function and V : RN → R a smooth function. Under suitable conditions on m(s) and V , it is shown that a ground state solution to the above equation exists.
