Abstract. In this paper, we investigate the existence of three generalized solutions for fourth-order Kirchhoff-type problems with a perturbed nonlinear term depending on two real parameters. Our approach is based on variational methods.

Keywords: multiplicity results, multiple solutions, fourth-order Kirchhoff-type equation, variational methods, critical point theory.

Mathematics Subject Classification: 34B15, 58E05.
