Abstract This paper concerns with the existence of multiple solutions for a class of elliptic problems with discontinuous nonlinearity. By using dual variational methods, properties of the Nehari manifolds and Ekeland's variational principle, we show how the ‘shape’ of the graph of the function A affects the number of nontrivial solutions.

Using variational methods we establish existence and concentration of positive solutions for a class of elliptic problems in $\mathbf{R}^{N}$, whose nonlinearity is discontinuous.

SynopsisThis paper deals with some multiplicity results for elliptic problems with jumping nonlinearities. Our results are concerned with the case in which only one eigenvalue of the linear problem is jumped and it is simple. The main tool used is the Leray–Schauder topological degree. We consider a parametrized problem and prove the existence of two or three distinct solutions for suitable values of the parameter.

We introduce a new construction of topological degree for densely defined mappings of monotone type. We also study the structure of the classes of mappings involved. Using the basic properties of the degree, we prove some abstract existence results that can be applied to elliptic problems.
