Abstract
The goal of the paper is to investigate a Kirchhoff-type elliptic problem driven by a generalized nonlocal fractional p-Laplacian whose nonlocal term vanishes at finitely many points. Multiple nontrivial solutions are obtained by applying a variational method combined with truncation techniques.
