Abstract

This paper deals with the existence and multiplicity of solutions for the p ( x ) -Laplacian Robin problem without the well-known Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz type growth conditions. By means of the variational approach (with the Cerami condition), existence and multiplicity results of solutions are established under weaker conditions.
