Abstract
The aim of the present paper is to study the existence of nontrivial nonnegative solutions for asecond-order boundary value problem of Kirchhoff type on the half-line. Our approach is based on variational methods, a monotonicity trick related to the mountain pass lemma, cut-off functional technique, and a Pohozaev type identity.
