Abstract

This article concerns the existence and multiplicity of solutions for a p(x)-Kirchhoff-type systems with a nonstandard growth condition. By a direct variational approach exponent Sobolev spaces, under growth conditions on the reaction terms, we establish the existence and multiplicity of solutions.
