In this paper, we are interested in looking for multiple solutions for a class of Kirchhoff type problems with concave-convex nonlinearities. Under the combined effect of coefficient functions of concave-convex nonlinearities, by the Nehari method, we obtain two solutions, and one of them is a ground state solution. Under some stronger conditions, we point that the two solutions are positive solutions by the strong maximum principle.

Keywords: Kirchhoff type problems, concave-convex nonlinearities, ground state solution, Nehari method.
