Existence and multiplicity of solutions to \(\pmb {(p, q)}\)-Kirchhoff-type equations with critical growth in \(\pmb {{\mathbb {R}}^N}\)
摘要
We investigate the existence and multiplicity of solutions for a class of Kirchhoff-type equations involving the (p, q)-Laplacian and a critical nonlinear term. To overcome the lack of compactness, we first establish the local Palais–Smale condition via the concentration compactness principle of Lions. By employing the mountain pass theorem combined with some new analytical techniques, we obtain the existence of nontrivial solutions. Furthermore, by applying a critical point theorem proposed by Perera (J Anal Math. 2025. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11854-025-0389-9), we show that the equation admits multiple solutions when
