Nonlinear noncoercive Neumann problems with a reaction concave near the origin

We consider a nonlinear Neumann problem driven by the p-Laplacian with a concave parametric reaction term and an asymptotically linear perturbation. We prove a multiplicity theorem producing five non- trivial solutions all with sign information when the parameter is small. For the semilinear case (p = 2) we produce six solutions, but we are unable to determine the sign of the sixth solution. Our approach uses critical point theory, truncation and comparison techniques, and Morse theory.
