Positive solutions with changing sign energy to a nonhomogeneous elliptic problem of fourth orderKeywords: Ekeland’s principle , p-Laplacian operator , Palais-Smale condition. Abstract: In this paper, we study the existence for two positive solutions toa nonhomogeneous elliptic equation of fourth order with a parameter lambda such tha 0 < lambda < lambda^. 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).
