The paper deals with the existence and multiplicity of nontrivial weak solutions for the p(x)-Kirchhofftype problem 1 0 Z 1 |∆u|p(x) dxA∆2p(x) u = f (x, u) in ⌦, −M@ p(x) ⌦

By using the variational approach and the Krasnosel’skii genus theory, we prove the existence and multiplicity of solutions for the p(x)-Kirchhoff-type equation.
