We study the vector p -Laplacian - ( | u ' | p - 2 u ' ) ' = F ( t , u ) a.e. t [ 0 , T ] , u ( 0 ) = u ( T ) , u ' ( 0 ) = u ' ( T ) , 1 < p < . ( * ) We prove that there exists a sequence ( u n ) of solutions of ( * ) such that u n is a critical point of ϕ and another sequence ( u n * ) of solutions of ( * ) such that u n * is a local minimum point of ϕ , where ϕ is a functional defined below.
