Searches for resonant and non-resonant pair-produced Higgs bosons (hh) decaying respectively into bb and VV (with V either a W or a Z boson), with subsequent VV decays into two leptons and two neutrinos, are presented. The analyses are based on a sample of proton-proton collisions at √ s = 13 TeV at the LHC corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 fb−1. Data and predictions from the standard model are in agreement within uncertainties. For the standard model hh hypothesis, the data are observed (expected) to exclude a production cross-section times branching ratio of 72 (81+42 −25) fb, corresponding to 79 (89 +47 −28) times the SM cross section. Lack of deviation from the SM predictions in the observations is used to place constraints on different scenarios considering anomalous couplings which could affect the rate and kinematics of hh production. In the case of resonant production of a new particle X, for mass hypotheses from mX = 300 GeV to mX = 900 GeV, the data are observed (expected) to exclude a production cross-section times branching ratio of narrow-width spin-0 particles from 434 to 17 (342+135 −97 to 14 +6 −4) fb and narrow-width spin-2 particles from 448 to 14 (361+140 −102 to 13 +5 −4) fb.
