Abstract

We find infinitely many solutions close to zero of the quasilinear elliptic equation \(-div\big (\phi (|\nabla u|^2)\nabla u\big )=f(x,u)\) in \(\Omega\) with Dirichlet’s boundary condition, where \(\Omega\) is a smooth bounded domain in \({\mathbb {R}}^N\), \(N\ge 1\) and \(f:\Omega \times {\mathbb {R}} \rightarrow {\mathbb {R}}\) is an unbounded continuous function with oscillatory behavior near the origin.
