We consider a nonlinear Dirichlet problem driven by the p-Laplacian diff erential operator, with a nonlinearity concave near the origin and a nonlinear perturbation of it. We look for multiple positive solutions. We consider two distinct cases. One when the perturbation is p-linear and resonant with respect to $\lambda_1 > 0$ (the principal eigenvalue of (-$\Delta_p,W_0^(1,p)(Z)$)) at infi nity and the other when the perturbation is p-superlinear at infi nity. In both cases we obtain two positive smooth solutions. The approach is variational, coupled with the method of upper-lower solutions and with suitable truncation techniques.
Keywords: p-superlinear perturbation, Concave nonlinearity, critical point theory., truncation techniques, p-linear perturbation, upper-lower solutions.
