For such an equation the energy functional does not need to be coercive, and we use suitable variational methods to show that the problem has at least two distinct, nontrivial smooth solutions. Our formulation incorporates strongly resonant equations. KW - Palais-Smale condition KW - noncoercive functional KW - second deformation theorem SN - 1232-9274 ER -
