摘要
We consider a nonlinear periodic problem driven by the scalar p-Laplacian and a nonlinearity that exhibits a p-superlinear growth near +/-infinity, but need not satisfy the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. Using minimax methods, truncations techniques and Morse theory, we show that the problem has at least three nontrivial solutions, two of which are of fixed sign.
