Synopsis

In this paper we study the following boundary value problem

where Ω is a bounded domain in Rn, n≧3, x ∈Rn, p* = 2n/(n – 2) is the critical exponent for the Sobolev embedding is a real parameter and f(x, t) increases, at infinity, more slowly than .

By using variational techniques, we prove the existence of multiple solutions to the equations (0.1), in the case when λ belongs to a suitable left neighbourhood of an arbitrary eigenvalue of −Δ, and the existence of at least one solution for any λ sufficiently large.
