Abstract

We consider a class of Schrodinger-Kirchhoff equations in R3 with a general nonlinearity g and coercive sign-changing potential V so that the Schrodinger operator -aΔ +V is indefinite. The nonlinearity considered here satisfies the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz type condition g(t)t≥μ G(t)>0 with μ>3. We obtain the existence of nontrivial solutions for this problem via Morse theory.
