Abstract

In this paper we use the three critical points theorem attributed to B. Ricceri in order to establish existence of three distinct solutions for the following boundary value problem:

\begin{eqnarray*}
\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \Delta_p u = a(x) |u|^{p-2} u & \mbox{ in
$\Omega$,}\\\\ |\nabla u|^{p-2} \nabla u . \nu = \lambda f(x,u)
& \mbox{ on $\partial\Omega$.}\end{array} \right.
\end{eqnarray*}
