Abstract

In this project, we will investigate the existence of multiple solutions for the fourth order elliptic equations of Kirchhoff type. $\Delta^{2}u-M(\int_{\Omega}\left\vert \nabla u\right\vert ^{2}dx)\Delta u+\rho u=\lambda f(x,u)$ in $\Omega$We consider that this equation is in a bounded domain with smooth boundary, and M:R+-> R is a continuous function.Actually, the weak solution of this equation is the critical point of the associated energy functional J.We would like to study Mountain pass theorem, Palais-Smale theory and the methods of Tarantello’s paper to improve our results.Since energy functional J is not bounded from below in H, then we consider the Nehari manifold M that contains all nontrivial weaksolutions of this problem, and we have that J is coercive and bounded from below on M.Next, under some assumptions, we will prove the existence of the ground state solution and higher energy solution for this equation.Besides, it is related to the travelling waves in suspension bridges.
