Existence of solutions to four-dimensional Kirchhoff problems with critical-concave nonlinearities

We deal with a Kirchhoff problem on a smooth bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^4$ with competing critical and concave terms. By using new approximation techniques and the Nehari manifold analysis, we derive several existence results, complementing earlier ones obtained in the critical-convex case. Compared to similar results in the literature, we provide explicit bounds of the range of the parameters leading to the existence of solutions.

Positive solutions for a Kirchhoff problem of Brezis-Nirenberg type in dimension four

We consider a Kirchhoff problem of Brezis-Nirenberg type in a smooth bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^4$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Our approach, novel in this framework and based upon approximation arguments, allows us to cope with the interaction between the higher order Kirchhoff term and the critical nonlinearity, typical of the dimension four. We derive several existence results of positive solutions, complementing and improving earlier results in the literature. In particular, we provide explicit bounds of the parameters $b$ and $\lambda$ coupled, respectively, with the higher order Kirchhoff term and the subcritical nonlinearity, for which the existence of solutions occurs.
