Existence and multiplicity of solutions for a new <i>p</i>(<i>x</i>)-Kirchhoff equation

This article is devoted to study a class of new <m:math xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <m:mi>p</m:mi> <m:mrow> <m:mo>(</m:mo> <m:mrow> <m:mi>x</m:mi> </m:mrow> <m:mo>)</m:mo> </m:mrow> </m:math> p\left(x) -Kirchhoff equation. By means of perturbation technique, variational method, and the method invariant sets for the descending flow, the existence and multiplicity of solutions to this problem are obtained.
