In this paper we deal with a nonlinear Neumann problem driven by the $p$--Laplacian and with a potential function which asymptotically at infinity is $p$--linear. Using variational methods based on critical point theory coupled with suitable truncation techniques, we prove a theorem establishing the existence of at least three nontrivial smooth solutions for the Neumann problem. For the semilinear case (i.e., $p=2$) using Morse theory, we produce one more nontrivial smooth solution.
Keywords: p–Laplacian, critical groups., Morse theory, linking theorem, three nontrivial smooth solutions, local minimizer, second deformation theorem.
