Abstract

Existence and bifurcation of positive solutions to a Kirchhoff type equation

are considered by using topological degree argument and variational method. Here is a continuous function which is asymptotically linear at zero and is asymptotically 3-linear at infinity. The new results fill in a gap of recent research about the Kirchhoff type equation in bounded domain, and in our results the nonlinearity may be resonant near zero or infinity.
