Popis: We establish the existence and multiplicity of solutions for a Kirchhoff-type problem in $$\mathbb R^4$$ involving a critical and concave–convex nonlinearity. Since in dimension four, the Sobolev critical exponent is $$2^*=4$$ , there is a tie between the growth of the nonlocal term and the critical nonlinearity. This turns out to be a challenge to study our problem from the variational point of view. Some of the main tools used in this paper are the mountain-pass and Ekeland’s theorems, Lions’ Concentration Compactness Principle and an extension to $$\mathbb R^N$$ of the Struwe’s global compactness theorem.
