Abstract

In this paper, we consider the following nonlocal model

The model is a well-known one to study micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) devices. We prove the existence of touchdown solutions in the genera cases that  is an arbitrary bounded domain and ,  are positive numbers and f is not constant.
