摘要

We consider a nonlinear Robin problem driven by a nonlinear, nonhomogeneous differential operator, and with a Caratheodory reaction term which is (p-1)-superlinear near +/-infinity without satisfying the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition and which does not have a standard subcritical polynomial growth. Using a combination of variational methods and Morse theoretic techniques, we prove a multiplicity theorem producing three nontrivial solutions (two of which have constant sign). In the process we establish some useful facts about the boundedness of the weak solutions of critical equations and the relation of Sobolev and Holder local minimizers for functionals with a critical perturbation term.
