Introduction and main results In this paper we consider the following superlinear p-Laplacian equations with Dirichlet boundary value condition -ApU f x u x e u u 0 x e du where ApU is the p-Laplacian operator ApU div Vu p-2 Vu withp 1 u is abounded domain in RN N 1 with smooth boundary du f e C u X R R is subcritical in t that is there is a q e p np n - p when N p q e p ro when N p such that f x t n lim 0 t-A t q-1 v 7 uniformly in . x e u. We are interested in the case that f is superlinear in t at infinity that is f x t t _ z lim TO. f LA t p Ambrosetti and Rabinowitz have got the solutions of problem by a very famous mountain pass theorem in 1 . But they supposed the well-known AR condition holds Hindawi Publishing Corporation Boundary Value Problems Volume 2006 Article ID 47275 Pages 1-12 DOI BVP 2006 47275 2 A class of superlinear p-Laplacian equations that is for some p p M 0 0 pF x s f x s s V s M x e Q. AR It is easy to see that the AR implies . This AR condition usually plays a very important role in verifying that the functional corresponding to problem has a MountainPass geometry and shows that a related PS c sequence is bounded see 1 2 5 12 . But there are always many functions .
