Existence and multiplicity of solutions for asymptotically linear Schrödinger-Kirchhoff equations. (English) Zbl 1334.35060

Summary: The purpose of this work is to study a Schrödinger-Kirchhoff equation in \(\mathbb R^3\) with the nonlinearity asymptotically linear and the potential indefinite in sign. By variational methods, we obtain the existence of multiple nontrivial solutions for this problem.
