contents In this paper, we use the method of invariant sets of descending flows to demonstrate the existence of multiple sign-changing solutions for a class of elliptic problems with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. By combining Nehari manifold techniques with a constrained variational approach and Brouwer degree theory, we establish the existence of a least-energy sign-changing solution. Furthermore, we prove that the energy of the least energy sign-changing solution is strictly greater than twice the ground state energy. This work extends the celebrated results of Bartsch $et~al.$ [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3), 91(1): 129-152, 2005] and Chang $et~al.$ [Adv. Nonlinear Stud., 19(1): 29-53, 2019] to the mixed local and nonlocal $p$-Laplace operator, providing a novel contribution even in the case when $p=2$.
