Afrouzi, Z. Naghizadeh and N. T. Chung abstract: In this paper, we are interested in a class of bi-nonlocal problems with nonlinear Neumann boundary conditions and sublinear terms at infinity. Using (S + ) mapping theory and variational methods, we establish the existence of at least two non-trivial weak solutions for the problem provided that the parameters are large enough. Our result complements and improves some previous ones for the superlinear case when the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz type conditions are imposed on the nonlinearities.

Introduction In this paper, we are interested in a class of Kirchhoff type problems with nonlinear Neumann bound- ary conditions of the form M 1 (L 1 (u)) div( ϕ(x, u)) + |u| p2 u = λM 2 (L 2 (u)) f (x,u),x Ω, M 1 (L 1 (u)) ϕ(x, u)= µg(x,u),x Ω, (1.1) where Ω is a smooth bounded domain in R N (N 3), ν is the outward normal vector on the boundary Ω, 2 p<N , λ,µ are parameters, L 1 (u)= 1 p Ω (H (|∇u| p )+ |u| p )dx, H (t)= t 0 h(s)ds for all t R, ϕ(x,v)= h(|v| p )|v| p2 v with increasing continuous functions h from R into R, L 2 (u)= Ω F (x,u)dx, where F (x,u)= u 0 f (x,s)ds and f × R R, g : Ω × R R satisfy the Carath´ eodory condition. Moreover, M 1 : R + 0 = [0, +) R and M 2 : R + 0 R are assumed to be continuous functions. It should be noticed that if h(t) 1, problem (1.1) becomes a nonlocal Kirchhoff type equation with nonlinear boundary condition M 1 1 p Ω (|∇u| p + |u| p ) dx  div(|∇u| p2 u)+ |u| p2 u = λM 2 ( Ω F (x,u) dx)f (x,u),x Ω, M 1 1 p Ω (|∇u| p + |u| p ) dx |∇u| p2 ∂u ∂ν = µg(x,u),x Ω. (1.2) Since the first equation in (1.2) contains an integral over Ω, it is no longer a pointwise identity; therefore it is often called nonlocal problem. The interest of such problems comes from the fact that Kirchhoff type problems usually model several physical and biological systems, where u describes a process which depends on the average of itself, such as the population density. Moreover, problem (1.2) is related to the stationary version of Kirchhoff equation ρ 2 u ∂t 2 p 0 h + E 2L L 0 ∂u ∂x 2 dx 2 u ∂x 2 =0 (1.3) 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35D30, 35J20, 35J66, 35J60.
