Abstract
The aim of this paper is to study the existence of infinitely many solutions for Schrödinger–Kirchhoff-type equations involving nonlocal \(p(x, \cdot )\)-fractional Laplacian \(\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}} {M({{\sigma }_{{p(x,y)}}}(u))\mathcal{L}_{K}^{{p(x, \cdot )}}(u) = \lambda {{{\left| u \right|}}^{{q(x) - 2}}}u + \mu {{{\left| u \right|}}^{{\gamma (x) - 2}}}u\;}&{{\text{in}}\;\Omega } \\ {u(x) = 0}&{{\text{in}}\;{{\mathbb{R}}^{N}}{\kern 1pt} \backslash {\kern 1pt} \Omega ,} \end{array}} \right.\) where \({{\sigma }_{{p(x,y)}}}(u) = \int_\mathcal{Q} \frac{{{{{\left| {u(x) - u(y)} \right|}}^{{p(x,y)}}}}}{{p(x,y)}}K(x,y)dxdy,\) \(\mathcal{L}_{K}^{{p(x, \cdot )}}\) is a nonlocal operator with singular kernel \(K\), \(\Omega \) is a bounded domain in \({{\mathbb{R}}^{N}}\) with Lipschitz boundary \(\partial \Omega \), \(M:{{\mathbb{R}}^{ + }} \to \mathbb{R}\) is a continuous function, q, \(\gamma \in C(\Omega )\) and \(\lambda ,\mu \) are two parameters. Under some suitable assumptions, we show that the above problem admits infinitely many solutions by applying the Fountain Theorem and the Dual Fountain Theorem.
