The first solution has a negative energy while the energy of the second one is positive for 0 < lambda < lambda_0 and negative for lambda_0 < lambda < lambda^. The values lambda_0 and lambda^ are given under variational form and we show that every corresponding critical point is solution of the nonlinear elliptic problem (with a suitable multiplicative term). %K Ekeland¡¯s principle %K p-Laplacian operator %K Palais-Smale condition. %U http://www.periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/BSocParanMat/article/view/11491/6175
