Abstract

We consider a semilinear Robin problem driven by the Laplacian plus an indefinite and unbounded potential and a superlinear reaction term which need not satisfy the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. Using variational tools we prove two theorems. An existence theorem producing a nontrivial smooth solution and a multiplicity theorem producing a whole unbounded sequence of nontrivial smooth solutions.
