Abstract

We consider a class of a nonlocal heterogeneous elliptic problem of type

$$\begin{aligned} -M(|u|_{q}^{q})\,div(a(x)\nabla u)=g(x,u) \end{aligned}$$

with a homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. Under different assumptions on the function g, we establish two existence theorems for this problem by using, respectively, the Schauder and Tychonoff fixed point theorems. Also, we give an example for each theorem.
