Three Solutions Theorem for a Quasilinear Dirichlet Boundary Value Problem

We consider a Dirichlet boundary value problem driven by the p-Laplacian with the right hand side being a Carathéodory function. The existence of solutions is obtained by the use of a special form of the three critical points theorem.
