## Existence of solution to $p-$Kirchhoff type problem in $\mathbb{R}^N$ via Nehari manifold

In this paper, we study the existence of positive solution to $p-$Kirchhoff type problem \begin{eqnarray} &(a+\mu(\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}(|\nabla u|^p+V(x)|u|^p)dx)^{\tau})(-\Delta_pu+V(x)|u|^{p-2}u)=|u|^{m-2}u\\ &+\lambda |u|^{q-2}u, \; {\rm in}\; \mathbb{R}^N \\ &u(x)>0, \;\;{\rm in}\;\; \mathbb{R}^N,\;\; u\in W^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^N), \end{eqnarray} where $a, \mu>0, \tau\ge 0, \lambda\in \mathbb{R}$ and $1 < p < N, p < q < m < p^*=\frac{pN}{N-p}$. The potential $V(x)\in C(\mathbb{R}^N)$ and $0 < \inf_{x\in\mathbb{R}^N}V(x) < \sup_{x\in\mathbb{R}^N}V(x) < \infty$. The existence of solution will be obtained by the Nehari manifold and variational method.
