The existence of nontrivial solutions for the following kind of Klein-Gordon-Maxwell system {- u+V(x)u-(2 omega+phi) phi u = f(x,u), x is an element of R-3, Delta phi=(omega+phi)u(2), x is an element of R-3, is investigated, where omega>0 is a constant, V is an element of C(R-3,R) is either periodic or coercive and is allowed to be sign-changing, f is an element of C(R(3)x R, R) and f is subcritical and local super-linear. Using local super-quadratic conditions and other suitable assumptions on the nonlinearity f (x, u) and the potential V(x), the existence of nontrivial solutions for the above system is established. The obtained results in this paper improve the related ones in the literature.
