In this article, we study the existence of solutions to a non-autonomous anisotropic fractional equation
where is a positive parameter, , , and Further, the nonlinear function exhibits critical as well as supercritical exponential growth, while absorption potential and reaction potential are bounded continuous functions, and are Kirchhoff functions. By applying variational methods, we prove the existence of a nontrivial nonnegative solution to the given equation when is small enough.
The Kirchhoff problem, originally introduced by Kirchhoff, arises from the description of nonlinear vibrations in an elastic string. One can find recent development on fractional Kirchhoff models in Fiscella and Valdinoci (2014). These models account for the nonlocal tension stemming from fractional length measurements of the string. Anisotropic partial differential equations (PDEs) are motivated by phenomena or processes depending on direction. In case of image processing, such equations account for reducing noise while preserving edges by diffusing along, not across, the gradients. In material science, anisotropic PDEs can model the behavior of materials (e.g., crystals, elastic media) whose characteristics vary with orientation. In physical/biological systems, such equations describe the directional transport, growth, or pattern formation in diverse fields like fluid dynamics and biology. Combining the fractional Kirchhoff-type problem and anisotropic PDEs, it is expected that the resulting models can describe many phenomena in image processing, physical, biological, and material sciences, and inter-relationship among these areas.
In this article, we first consider an anisotropic Kirchhoff–Schrödinger equation involving a fractional -Laplace operator given by
where is a small positive parameter, , , absorption potential and reaction potential are bounded continuous functions, Kirchhoff functions are and , and the nonlinearity has an exponential critical growth. In addition, for and denotes the fractional -Laplace operator (up to a normalization constant) defined by
where is a sufficiently smooth function and
In order to study the problem (1.1), we assume that is a bounded continuous function satisfying
Using the penalized method and Ljusternik–Schnirelmann category, Nguyen and Rădulescu (2024) showed the existence of multiplicity and concentration of solutions to the problem (1.2). In the double phase case, Alves et al. (2019), Ambrosio and Rădulescu (2020) investigated the multiple and concentration of solutions to fractional equation
where is a parameter, and nonlinear reaction has the subcritical growth verifying certain conditions. When the equation (1.3) takes the form
where In 2021, Ambrosio and Repovs (2021) studied the multiplicity and concentration of solutions to equation (1.4) when , the potential function satisfies the global Rabinowitz condition and has a subcritical growth. In 2022, Nguyen Thin (2022) studied the problem (1.3) when has an exponential growth and satisfies the Rabinowitz condition. Based on Ljusternik–Schnirelmann category theory, suitable variational arguments and Nehari manifold, Nguyen showed that the existence of multiple solutions and their concentration on the set, where the potential attains its global minimum. Motivated by the forementioned work, Wang et al. (2023) studied the concentration of solutions to -Laplacian equation with Trudinger–Moser nonlinearity as follows:
where is a positive potential and is with subcritical growth in the sense of Trudinger–Moser, instead of assuming the Ambrosetti and Rabinowitz condition on the nonlinear function Using Nehari manifold, Pohozaev identity and penalized method, they constructed the solution of (1.5) that concentrates around any given isolated local minimum point of However, they did not obtain multiple solutions for the given problem. In 2023, Ambrosio and Radulescu (2024) studied the multiplicity of concentrating solutions to a -Schrödinger equation
where is small parameter, and The potential function is continuous and there exists a bounded open set such that They used the penalized method, Ljusternik–Schnirelmann category theory and Nehari manifold to get the multiple solutions of (1.6). In 2022, Zhang et al. (2022) discussed the double phase problem with competing potentials
where the nonlinearity is continuous function, the potentials and satisfy the conditions due to Ding and Liu (2013). Using the topological and variational tools from Nehari manifold analysis due to Szulkin and Weth (2010), and Ljusternik–Schnirelmann category theory, they showed the existence of positive ground state solutions and the relationship between the number of solutions and the topology set, where attained its global minimum and achieved its global maximum. In Zhang and Zhang (2022), Zhang-Zhang extended the results obtained in Zhang et al. (2022) to a nonlocal double phase problem
where the nonlinear function is continuous, is an absorption potential and is reaction potential satisfying the conditions due to Ding and Liu (2013). In 2016, Li et al. (2016) studied the problem
in the limit as under some suitable assumptions on the potential functions and , and the nonlinear function In 2020, Shiwata et al. (2021) studied the blow-up in finite time or global time of the solution to the Cauchy problem
where and for some and has an exponential growth in the sense of Trudinger–Moser. For initial data with energies below or equal to the ground sate level, they have shown that the dichotomy between finite time blow-up and global existence can be determined by means of a potential argument. In 2021, Majdoub and Tayachi (2021) studied the Cauchy problem
where and has an exponential growth and Using Banach’s fixed point theorem, they obtained the existence of a global solution to problem (1.10). Such problems are useful to find the standing wave solutions to equation (1.9) with In 2020, Fiscella and Pucci (2020) proved the existence of a weak solution to a Kirchhoff system involving fractional -Laplacian. For more results on Kirchhoff problem involving fractional -Laplacian, we refer the reader to Miyagaki and Pucci (2019), Xiang, Radulescu, and Zhang (2019), and Xiang, Zhang, and Repovs (2019). For a double phase equation, Isernia and Repovs (2020) discussed the existence of nodal solutions to a Kirchhoff problem involving fractional -Laplacian. The authors in Isernia (2020) also studied the fractional double phase equation. One can find more results on Kirchhoff problems involving nonlocal operators in the articles (Lai et al., 2025; Ledesma et al., 2024; Sun et al., 2024; Tripathi, 2025). In 2025, Li et al. (2025) studied the existence, concentration and multiplicity of solutions for -Laplacian equations with convolution term by using Pohozaev manifold, variational methods and Morse theory. In Deng et al. (2025), Deng, Luo, and Ledesma investigated the existence of a nonnegative weak solution to a nonlocal variational inequality.
As far as we know, there is only one article (Ambrosio, 2022) dealing with the equation (1.1) for , on when has a subcritical growth. The existence of weak solutions to (1.1) with Trudinger–Moser nonlinearity is yet to be studied. The aim of this work is to give the first result in this direction.
Let us first define some spaces related to our work. We denote by the fractional Sobolev space defined by
where is the seminorm Gagliardo given by
As argued in Pucci et al. (2015), is a uniformly convex Banach space with norm
For any let Setting we introduce a norm different from the one in (1.11) as
Notice that the two norms and are equivalent to Denote by equipped with the norm
Hence, is a uniformly Banach space. For each we consider the Banach space with norm
As argued in Pucci et al. (2015, Lemma 10), is uniformly convex Banach space and it is indeed a reflexive space. In addition, the embedding into is continuous for any via the condition and Theorem 6.9 (Nezza et al., 2012). Similarly, we can define the space We define endowed with the norm
Using the arguments employed in Pucci et al. (2015, Lemma 10), for any is uniformly convex Banach space and the sequences of embedding

which can alternatively be written as
The function is said to be a weak solution to the problem (1.1) if
for any
Our main result in this article is given in the following theorem.
Let and hold. Then, there exists such that problem (1.1) has at least one nontrivial nonnegative weak solutions for any
The rest of the article is arranged as follows. In Section 2, we study an autonomous problem associated with (1.1). Using a variational method, the Lion-type lemma, a characteristic of the mountain pass level (Proposition 1), we show the existence of a ground state solution to problem (2.1). Section 3 studies the compactness of the Palaise–Smale sequence for the energy function associated with problem (1.1). In Section 4, we prove the existence of a weak solution to the problem (1.1). In the last section, we investigate the problem (1.1) when has a supercritical exponent growth. We use a suitable truncated function and study the modified problem. To obtain the solution for the original problem, we give an -estimate for the solution of the modified problem, and by the definition of the modified function, we derive the solution of the original problem. In the present work, we tackle the situation when equation (1.1) contains Kirchhoff functions. Precisely, we face difficulty in establishing the weak limit for the Palais–Smale sequence, which is a solution to the autonomous problem, and the compact property of the Palais–Smale sequence.
Autonomous Problem
In this section, we discuss the existence of a weak solution to a limit problem associated with (1.1) given by
where are constants. For problem (2.1), we use the energy function which has form

Then, admits at a point Using Fermat’s theorem, we deduce that and We consider the case The case can be proved in a similar manner and we omit the details for this case. Notice that if

We next claim that To get that inequality, we need to show that every path intersects with Indeed, if for any we have then or Note that
Using Trudinger–Moser inequality, as is small enough, we have Then, on which cannot hold. Now, we show that is also not true for . Indeed, by the condition we have
Clearly, and for all and and
Thus, for any it holds that
By definition of and continuity of on we obtain when and near Hence, (2.15) provides a contradiction when is near . Thus, and
If the conditions hold, then problem (2.1) admits a nontrivial nonnegative ground state solution.
Using Lemmas 2 and 3 and a version of Mountain Pass Theorem without the Palais–Smale condition (Rabinowitz, 1986; Willem, 1996), we show that there is a sequence such that
where is defined by
By Proposition 1, we have

Then, we obtain
due to From (2.17) and (2.18), the following inequality holds
Since

From the property we deduce that is a bounded sequence in and there is such that weakly in in and in outside a set with measure zero. Observe that by (2.24), and hence we obtain We now prove that By employing the arguments used in Thin (2022), we have
and
for all and Furthermore, we have
Upto a subsequence, we can assume that for all By Fatou’s lemma, we have for all We assume that for some Without loss of generality, we may assume that Combining (2.25) to (2.28), we obtain
for all From (2.29), we get Using Trudinger–Moser inequality, it holds that as and near zero. Then, there exists so that By the condition is an increasing function on Hence, we have
which is a contradiction. Then, for all and we get In addition, by the assumption on we deduce that By Fatou’s lemma, we have
Hence, is a ground state solution to the problem (2.1).
The Auxiliary Problem
The energy functional for equation (1.1) is given by
Observe that the energy functional is well defined on by the condition , via and and the weak solutions of the problem (1.1) are critical points of Associated with the Nehari manifold of (1.1), denoted by , is defined as
for some and all so that is sufficiently small. If (3.1) is not true, then there exists so that We see that (3.6) is true when we substitute as is sufficiently large. Therefore, we obtain
Note that we may assume when is large enough, then when is large enough and
Dividing both sides of the above inequality by and taking the limit we get a contradiction when is small enough. Thus, there exists such that for all
The following lemma is said to be geometric condition in Mountain Pass Theorem of energy function We omit the proofs.
The energy functional has the properties:
There are real numbers so that for all with

From Lemma 7 and the version of Mountain Pass Theorem (Rabinowitz, 1986), there exists a sequence that is,

As argued in Proposition 1, we can get the following result.
By using the arguments employed in Thin (2022, Lemma 9), we can formulate the following result.
Let be a sequence for so that weakly in and

Now, we investigate the following two cases.
Case 1. Choose a subsequence if necessary and suppose that Since and therefore, we have

as , for all Then, it follows from (3.35) and (3.36) that (3.34) holds true. Since therefore, we have
Combining (3.33), (3.34) and (3.37), we obtain that is a sequence with level Thus, we have in (see Lemma 9) and hence, we deduce that and in

For each let where is a ground state solution of the problem due to Proposition 2. For each there is a real number so that and
For an arbitrary function we have
Since therefore, we get
