The existence of multiple weak solutions for a class of elliptic Navier boundary problems involving the $p$--biharmonic operator is investigated. Our approach is chiefly based on critical point theory.
Keywords: Critical point theory., Three weak solutions, Navier boundary value problem, $p$--biharmonic type operators.
