We are concerned with a nonlinear elliptic equation, involving a Kirchhoff type nonlocal term and a potential V(x), on R3. As is well known that, even in H1r(R3), the nonlinear term is a pure power form of |u|p−1u and V(x)≡1, it seems very difficult to apply the mountain-pass theorem to get a solution (i.e., mountain-pass solution) to this kind of equation for all p∈(1,5), due to the difficulty of verifying the boundedness of the Palais-Smale sequence obtained by the mountain-pass theorem when p∈(1,3). In this paper, we find a new strategy to overcome this difficulty, and then get a mountain-pass solution to the equation for all p∈(1,5) and for both V(x) being constant and nonconstant. Also, we find a possibly optimal condition on V(x).
