This paper is concerned with existence and multiplicity results for nonlinear elliptic equations of the type -Au = |u|''_1u + h(x) in P», u = 0 on 3s. Here, s c R^ is smooth and bounded, and h e L2(Q) is given. We show that there exists pN > 1 such that for any p e (\,pN) and any h e L2(I2), the preceding equation possesses infinitely many distinct solutions. The method rests on a characterization of the existence of critical values by means of noncontractibility properties of certain level sets. A perturbation argument enables one to use the properties of some associated even functional. Several other applications of this method are also presented.
