## Sign-changing solutions of a class of nonlocal quasilinear elliptic boundary value problems.(English)Zbl 1222.35092

Summary: This paper is concerned with nonlocal Kirchhoff’s equation
$\begin{cases} -\left(a+b\int_\Omega |\nabla u|^2\right)\Delta u=f(x,u) &\text{in }\Omega,\\ u=0 &\text{on }\partial\Omega, \end{cases}$
via variational methods and invariant sets of descent flow. We obtain existence of signed and sign-changing solutions with asymptotically 3-linear bounded nonlinearity.
