A Multiplicity Theorem for Superlinear Double Phase Problems

We consider a nonlinear Dirichlet problem driven by the double phase differential operator and with a superlinear reaction which need not satisfy the Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition. Using the Nehari manifold, we show that the problem has at least three nontrivial bounded solutions: nodal, positive...
