We consider a quasilinear elliptic eigenvalue problem with a discontinuous right hand side. To be able to have an existence theory, we pass to a multivalued problem (elliptic inclusion). Using a variational approach based on the critical point theory for locally Lipschitz functions, we show that we have at least three nontrivial solutions when λ → λ 1 from the left, λ 1 being the principal eigenvalue of the p-Laplacian with the Dirichlet boundary conditions.
