In this paper, we investigate the existence and nonexistence of ground state nodal solutions to a class of Kirchhoff type problems
$ -\left( a+b\int_{\Omega }{|}\nabla u{{|}.{2}}dx \right)\vartriangle u=\lambda u+|u{{|}.{2}}u,\ \ u\in H_{0}.{1}(\Omega ), $
where $a, b>0$, $\lambda < a\lambda_1$, $\lambda_1$ is the principal eigenvalue of $(-\triangle, H_0.{1}(\Omega))$. With the help of the Nehari manifold, we obtain that there is $\Lambda>0$ such that the Kirchhoff type problem possesses at least one ground state nodal solution $u_b$ for all $0 < b < \Lambda$ and $\lambda < a\lambda_1$ and prove that its energy is strictly larger than twice that of ground state solutions. Moreover, we give a convergence property of $u_b$ as $b\searrow 0$. Besides, we firstly establish the nonexistence result of nodal solutions for all $b\geq\Lambda$. This paper can be regarded as the extension and complementary work of W. Shuai (2015)[21], X.H. Tang and B.T. Cheng (2016)[22].
Keywords: Kirchhoff type problem, nonlocal term, Nehari manifold, nodal solution, ground state.
