# On the existence of three solutions for quasilinear elliptic problem

Paweł Goncerz

Abstract. We consider a quasilinear elliptic problem of the type $$-\Delta_p u = \lambda (f(u)+\mu g(u))$$ in $$\Omega$$, $$u|_{\partial \Omega} =0$$, where $$\Omega \in \mathbb{R}^N$$ is an open and bounded set, $$f$$, $$g$$ are continuous real functions on $$\mathbb{R}$$ and $$\lambda , \mu \in \mathbb{R}$$. We prove the existence of at least three solutions for this problem using the so called three critical points theorem due to Ricceri.

Keywords: critical point, elliptic problem, minimax inequality, $$p$$-Laplacian, three critical points theorem, weak solution.
