Infinitely many solutions to Kirchhoff double phase problems with variable exponents

In this work we deal with elliptic equations driven by the variable exponent double phase operator with a Kirchhoff term and a right-hand side that is just locally defined in terms of very mild assumptions. Based on an abstract critical point result of Kajikiya (2005) and recent a priori bounds for generalized double phase problems by the authors (2022), we prove the existence of a sequence of nontrivial solutions whose $L^{\mathrm{\infty }}$-norms converge to zero.
