Abstract:
In this paper, we consider the existence of least energy sign-changing solutions for a class of Kirchhoff-type problem [Formula: see text]where [Formula: see text] is a bounded domain in [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], with a smooth boundary [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. By using variational approach and some subtle analytical skills, the existence of the least energy sign-changing solutions of [Formula: see text] is obtained successfully. Moreover, we prove that the energy of any sign-changing solutions is larger than twice that of the ground state solutions of [Formula: see text].

Kirchhoff's Rules
Kirchhoff's first rule is called the junction rule. A junction, also known as a node, is a connection of three or more wires. The rule states that the sum of all currents entering a junction must equal the sum of all currents leaving the junction.
Kirchoff's Rules: Application
When applying Kirchhoff's first rule, the junction rule, label the current in each branch and decide its direction. If the chosen direction is wrong, it will have the correct magnitude, although the...
Kirchhoff's Current Law
Kirchhoff's Current Law is based on the principle of charge conservation. It states that at any node (a point where two or more circuit elements meet) in an...
Kirchhoff's Voltage Law
KVL states that the algebraic sum of all voltages around a closed path or loop within a circuit is zero. This means that the total voltage supplied in a loop is equal to the...
