Abstract
In this paper we study the existence and the multiplicity of nontrivial weak solutions for a fourth order variable exponent Kirchhoff type problem involving p(x)-biharmonic operator with changing sign weight and with no flux boundary condition. By using variational approach and the theory of variable exponent Sobolev spaces, we determine an interval of parameters for which this problem admits at least two nontrivial weak solutions.
