Abstract
Using the critical point theory and the method of lower and upper solutions, we present a new approach to obtain the existence of solutions to a p-Laplacian impulsive problem. As applications, we get unbounded sequences of solutions and sequences of arbitrarily small positive solutions of the p-Laplacian impulsive problem.
