  In this paper, we intend to consider a kind of nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation coupled with Born-Infeld theory. By using critical point theory and the method of Nehari manifold, we obtain two existing results of infinitely many high-energy radial solutions and a ground-state solution for this kind of system, which improve and generalize some related results in the literature.

The Born-Infeld electromagnetic theory [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.132924-ref1">1</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.132924-ref2">2</xref>] was first put up as a nonlinear correction of the Maxwell theory to solve the infiniteness issue in the classical electrodynamics of point particles (see [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.132924-ref3">3</xref>] ). The fundamental concept was to change classical theory simply, so that it adhered to the notion of finiteness and did not have physical quantities of infinities. Due to its importance in the theory of superstrings and membranes, Born-Infeld nonlinear electromagnetism has attracted a lot of attention from theoretical physicists and mathematicians (see [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.132924-ref4">4</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.132924-ref5">5</xref>] ).

Other related studies on the Klein-Gordon equation or Klein-Gordon-Maxwell equation can be seen in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.132924-ref15">15</xref>] - [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.132924-ref28">28</xref>] .</p><p>Motivated by the above works, in this paper, to certify the boundedness of Palais-Smale sequence for case of 2 &lt; u &lt; 6 , we use Pohožaev identity of (1.1). By applying the ideas employed by Ref. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.132924-ref12">12</xref>] , we find a Palais-Smale sequence { u n } of energy functional of problem (1.1) at level c 1 , where c 1 &gt; 0 is mountain pass level defined later by (1.1). Then, the boundedness of { u n } can be certified by some delicate analyses. By using critical point theory and the method of Nehari manifold, we obtain two existing results of infinitely many high-energy radial solutions and a ground-state solution (which is the solution with the smallest energy among all the solutions) for the system (1.1) and we have improved the range of ω , which improve and generalize some related results in the literature.</p><p>In this paper, we make the following assumptions:</p><p>(V1) V ∈ C ( ℝ 3 , ℝ ) is a radial function, which satisfies V 0 = inf x ∈ ℝ 3 V ( x ) &gt; 0 . And there is a constant r &gt; 0 such that:</p><p>l i m | y | → + ∞ meas ( { x ∈ ℝ 3 : | x − y | ≤ r , V ( x ) ≤ M } ) = 0, ∀   M &gt; 0,</p><p>where meas ( ⋅ ) denotes the Lebesgue measure.</p><p>(V2) ( ∇ V ( x ) , x ) ≥ 0 for all x ∈ ℝ 3 and there exists θ ∈ [ 0,1 ) such that ( ∇ V ( x ) , x ) ≤ θ 2 | x | 2 for all x ∈ ℝ 3 \ { 0 } .</p><p>(F1) l i m | t | → ∞ f ( t ) | t | 5 = 0 .</p><p>(F2) l i m | t | → 0 f ( t ) | t | = 0 .</p><p>(F3) There exists μ &gt; 2 such that f ( t ) t ≥ μ F ( t ) ≥ 0 for all t ∈ ℝ , where F ( t ) : = ∫ 0 t   f ( s ) d s .</p><p>(F4) f ( − t ) = − f ( t ) , for all t ∈ ℝ .</p><p>Now, we present two main results:</p><p>Theorem 1.1. Assume that (V1), (V2), (F1) - (F4) hold. If the following condition holds:</p><p>1) μ ∈ [ 3,6 ) ; or 2) μ ∈ ( 2,3 ) and ω ∈ ( 0, ( μ − 2 ) ( 4 − μ ) V 0 / ( 3 − μ ) ) , then, problem (1.1) possesses infinitely many solutions { ( u n , ϕ n ) } ⊂ E &#215; D r 1,2 ( ℝ 3 ) satisfying:</p><p>1 2 ∫ ℝ 3 ( | ∇ u | 2 + [ V ( x ) − ( 2 ω + ϕ ) ϕ ] u 2 ) d x − 1 8 π ∫ ℝ 3 | ∇ ϕ | 2 d x − β 16 π ∫ ℝ 3 | ∇ ϕ | 4 d x − ∫ ℝ 3     F ( u ) d x → ∞ .</p><p>Theorem 1.2. Assume that (V1), (V2), (F1) - (F3) hold. If the following condition holds:</p><p>1) μ ∈ [ 3,6 ) ; or 2) μ ∈ ( 2,3 ) and ω ∈ ( 0, ( μ − 2 ) ( 4 − μ ) V 0 / ( 3 − μ ) ) , then, the problem (1.1) has a ground-state solution.</p><p>Remark 1.3. We consider the variable potential V and generalized nonlinearity f, which brings some difficulties such as the proof of boundedness of Palais-Smale sequence ((PS)-sequence for short). To conquer the boundedness of (PS)-sequence, we use some analytical methods. Besides, when μ ∈ [ 3,6 ) , we do not need any restriction on ω , and when μ ∈ ( 2,3 ) , we get a more delicate range for ω . Hence, Theorem 1.1 and Theorem 1.2 can be seen as improvements of the relative results in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, similar results for this kind of Klein-Gordon equation coupled with Born-Infeld theory by using analytical methods in this paper can not be found.</p><p>The rest of this paper is organized as follows: in Section 2, some preliminaries are given; in Section 3, we give out the proofs of Theorem 1.1 and Theorem 1.2.

(2.44)</p><p>Since μ &gt; 2 , from (2.44), there exists ρ k &gt; 0 such that:</p><p>a k : = max u ∈ Y k , ‖ u ‖ = ρ k I ( u ) ≤ 0.</p><p>Subsequently, for any k ∈ ℕ and p ∈ [ 2,6 ) , we set:</p><p>β k ( p ) = sup u ∈ Z k , ‖ u ‖ E = 1 ‖ u ‖ p .</p><p>Similar to Lemma 2.8 in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.132924-ref27">27</xref>] , we have β k ( p ) → 0 as k → ∞ . Letting d k = ( 1 8 C 2 β k 6 ( 6 ) ) 1 4 , for any u ∈ Z k . From (2.1), (2.5), (2.13), we get that:</p><p>I ( u ) = 1 2 ∫ ℝ 3 [ | ∇ u | 2 + V ( x ) u 2 + ϕ u 2 u 2 ] d x + 1 8 π ∫ ℝ 3 | ∇ ϕ u | 2 d x   + 3 β 16 π ∫ ℝ 3 | ∇ ϕ u | 4 d x − ∫ ℝ 3     F ( u ) d x ≥ 1 2 ∫ ℝ 3 [ | ∇ u | 2 + V ( x ) u 2 ] d x − ∫ ℝ 3     F ( u ) d x ≥ 1 2 ‖ u ‖ E 2 − C 1 β k 2 ( 2 ) ‖ u ‖ E 2 − C 2 β k 6 ( 6 ) ‖ u ‖ E 6 ≥ 1 8 ‖ u ‖ E 2 .</p><p>Thus, we obtain b k : = inf u ∈ Z k , ‖ u ‖ = d k I ( u ) ≥ 1 8 d k 2 → + ∞ as → ∞ . □</p></sec><sec id="s3"><title>3. Proofs of Theorem 1.1 and Theorem 1.2</title><p>Proof of Theorem 1.1. It follows from Lemma 2.3 and Lemma 2.7 that I satisfies the (PS) condition. By (F1), (F2) and (F4), it is easy to see that I ( 0 ) = 0 and I ( − u ) = I ( u ) . By Lemma 2.9, the functional I satisfies the geometric conditions of Lemma 2.8. Hence, problem (1.1) has infinitely many nontrivial solutions ( u n , ϕ n ) ∈ E &#215; D r 1,2 ( ℝ 3 ) . This completes the proof. □</p><p>Proof of Theorem 1.2. First, we show that the set S ≠ 0 . Similar to Lemma 2.7, we can prove that, there exists a sequence { w n } bounded in H r 1 ( ℝ 3 ) and I ( w n ) = c 1 , I ′ ( w n ) = 0 . We claim that:</p><p>lim sup n → ∞ sup y ∈ ℝ 3 ∫ B 1 ( y ) | w n | 2 d x &gt; 0. (3.1)</p><p>If not, from Lion’s concentration compactness principle [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.132924-ref30">30</xref>] , we have that w n → 0 in L s ( ℝ 3 ) for 2 &lt; s &lt; 6 . From (F1), (F2), there exists C 8 , C 9 , C 10 &gt; 0 such that:</p><p>∫ ℝ 3 [ 1 2 f ( w n ) w n − F ( w n ) ] d x ≤ C 8 ‖ w n ‖ L 2 2 + C 9 ‖ w n ‖ L s s + C 10 ‖ w n ‖ L 6 6 ≤ c 1 2 + o ( 1 ) .</p><p>Thus,</p><p>c 1 + o ( 1 ) ≤ I ( w n ) − 1 2 〈 I ′ ( w n ) , w n 〉 = − 1 8 π ∫ ℝ 3 | ∇ ϕ w n | 2 d x − β 16 π ∫ ℝ 3 | ∇ ϕ w n | 4 d x + ∫ ℝ 3 [ 1 2 f ( w n ) w n − F ( w n ) ] d x ≤ c 1 2 + o ( 1 ) .</p><p>This contradiction shows that (3.1) holds, and so there exist δ &gt; 0 and { y n } ⊂ ℝ 3 such that:</p><p>∫ B 2 ( y n ) | w n | 2 d x &gt; δ &gt; 0.</p><p>Let w &#175; n = w n ( x + y n ) , thus ‖ w &#175; n ‖ = ‖ w n ‖ , I ( w &#175; n ) = c 1 , I ′ ( w &#175; n ) = 0 and</p><p>∫ B 2 ( 0 ) | w &#175; n | 2 d x &gt; δ &gt; 0</p><p>which implies</p><p>w &#175; n ⇀ w &#175; ≡ 0     in   H r 1 ( ℝ 3 ) .</p><p>By a standard argument, we can show that I ′ ( w &#175; ) = 0 , and so w &#175; ∈ S .</p><p>Next, we will prove 0 &lt; k : = inf u ∈ S I ( u ) is achieved. Let { w n } ⊂ S be such that I ( w n ) → k and I ′ ( w n ) = G ( w n ) = 0 as n → ∞ . Arguing as before, we can prove that there exists w ˜ ∈ S such that I ( w ˜ ) ≥ k and I ′ ( w ˜ ) = G ( w ˜ ) = 0 . If μ ∈ [ 4,6 ) , from (V2), (F3), Lemma 2.1, (2.5), (2.6) and Fatou’s Lemma, we have:</p><p>k = l i m n → ∞ [ I ( w n ) − 1 μ 〈 I ′ ( w n ) , w n 〉 ] = l i m n → ∞ { ( 1 2 − 1 μ ) ∫ ℝ 3 [ | ∇ w n | 2 + V ( x ) | w n | 2 ] d x + β 16 π ∫ ℝ 3 | ∇ ϕ w n | 4 d x   + ∫ ℝ 3 [ 1 μ ϕ w n 2 − ( 1 2 − 2 μ ) ω ϕ w n ] | w n | 2 d x + ∫ ℝ 3 [ 1 μ f ( w n ) w n − F ( w n ) ] d x } ≥ ( 1 2 − 1 μ ) ∫ ℝ 3 [ | ∇ w ˜ | 2 + V ( x ) | w ˜ | 2 ] d x + β 16 π ∫ ℝ 3 | ∇ ϕ w ˜ | 4 d x   + ∫ ℝ 3 [ 1 μ ϕ w ˜ 2 − ( 1 2 − 2 μ ) ω ϕ w ˜ ] | w ˜ | 2 d x + ∫ ℝ 3 [ 1 μ f ( w ˜ ) w ˜ − F ( w ˜ ) ] d x = I ( w ˜ ) − 1 μ 〈 I ( w ˜ ) , w ˜ 〉 . (3.2)</p><p>If μ ∈ ( 2,4 ) , from Lemma 2.1, (2.5), (2.6), (2.36), (2.37) and Fatou’s Lemma, we obtain:</p><p>k = l i m n → ∞ [ I ( w n ) + μ − 4 6 − μ 〈 I ′ ( w n ) , w n 〉 + 2 − μ 6 − μ G ( w n ) ] = l i m n → ∞ { μ − 2 6 − μ ∫ ℝ 3     V ( x ) | w n | 2 d x + μ − 2 2 ( 6 − μ ) ∫ ℝ 3 ( ∇ V ( x ) , x ) | w n | 2 d x</p><p>  + 1 6 − μ ∫ ℝ 3 [ 2 ( 3 − μ ) ω ϕ w n + ( 4 − μ ) ϕ w n 2 ] | w n | 2 d x   + 2 6 − μ ∫ ℝ 3 [ f ( w n ) w n − μ F ( w n ) ] d x + 2 β μ 16 π ∫ ℝ 3 | ∇ ϕ w n | 4 d x }</p><p>≥ μ − 2 6 − μ ∫ ℝ 3     V ( x ) | w ˜ | 2 d x + μ − 2 2 ( 6 − μ ) ∫ ℝ 3 ( ∇ V ( x ) , x ) | w ˜ | 2 d x   + 1 6 − μ ∫ ℝ 3 [ 2 ( 3 − μ ) ω ϕ w ˜ + ( 4 − μ ) ϕ w ˜ 2 ] | w ˜ | 2 d x   + 2 6 − μ ∫ ℝ 3 [ f ( w ˜ ) w ˜ − μ F ( w ˜ ) ] d x + 2 β μ 16 π ∫ ℝ 3 | ∇ ϕ w ˜ | 4 d x = I ( w ˜ ) + μ − 4 6 − μ 〈 I ′ ( w ˜ ) , w ˜ 〉 + 2 − μ 6 − μ G ( w ˜ ) . (3.3)</p><p>It follows from (3.2), (3.3) and I ( w ˜ ) ≥ k that w ˜ ∈ S and I ( w ˜ ) = k = inf u ∈ S I ( u ) . Hence, it follows from (2.2) and (2.5) that</p><p>J ( u , ϕ u ) = I ( u ) ≥ I ( w ˜ ) = J ( w ˜ , ϕ w ˜ ) = k ,     ∀   u ∈ S .</p><p>This proves that ( w ˜ , ϕ w ˜ ) is a ground-state solution for system (1.1). □</p></sec><sec id="s4"><title>4.
