Abstract
By a variant version of mountain pass theorem, the existence and multiplicity of solutions are obtained for a class of superlinear-Laplacian equations:. In this paper, we suppose neither satisfies the superquadratic condition in Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz sense nor is nondecreasing with respect to.
