Abstract
We consider the existence of at least two or three distinct weak solutions for the nonlinear elliptic equations (Formula presented.) Here the function φ(x, v) is of type | v| p − 2v and the functions f, g satisfy a Carathéodory condition. To do this, we give some critical point theorems for continuously differentiable functions with the Cerami condition which are extensions of the recent results in Bonanno (Adv. Nonlinear Anal. 1:205-220, 2012) and Bonanno and Marano (Appl. Anal. 89:1-10, 2010) by applying Zhong’s Ekeland variational principle.
