This paper discusses the existence and multiplicity of solutions for a class of p ( x ) -Kirchhoff type problems with Dirichlet boundary data of the following form - a + b ∫ Ω 1 p ( x ) | ∇ u | p ( x ) d x div ( | ∇ u | p ( x ) - 2 ∇ u ) = f ( x , u ) , i n Ω u = 0 o n ∂ Ω , where Ω is a smooth open subset of ℝ N and p ∈ C ( Ω ¯ ) with N < p - = inf x ∈ Ω p ( x ) ≤ p + = sup x ∈ Ω p ( x ) < + ∞ , a , b are positive constants and f : Ω ¯ × ℝ → ℝ is a continuous function. The proof is based on critical point theory and variable exponent Sobolev space theory.
