Abstract A general theorem concerning the three critical points for some classes of coercive functionals depending on a real parameter is established, which may derive existence’s results of three solutions with various sufficient conditions for some classes of two-point semi-linear boundary value problems. Moreover, by applying known three existence theorems, we derive multiple existence results for a class of quasi-linear differential equation.

1 Introduction and Preliminary Results Ricceri in [18] established an interesting method which leads to the existence of three critical points for some classes of coercive functionals depending on a real parameter λ ∈ . Ricceri’s result has wide applications to derive the existence of at least three weak solutions for some differential equations. Many authors by assembling a class of appropriate assumptions for various differential equations make a suitable geometry of corresponding energy functional to applying Ricceri’s theorems. (for example, see [1,2,4–7,9–16])

Bonanno in [8] established some remarks on a strict minimax inequality, which play a fundamental role in Ricceri’s three critical points theorem. The Bonanno’s results in [8] gives an estimate of where  can be located. Theorem 1.1 [8, Theorem 2.1] Let X be a separable and reflexive real Banach space, and let φ, J : X → R be two continuously Gateaux differentiable functionals. Assume that there exists u 0 ∈ X such that φ(u 0 ) = J (u 0 ) = 0, φ(u) ≥ 0 for every u ∈ X and there exists u 1 ∈ X , r > 0 such that (I) r < φ(u 1 ); J (u 1 ) . (II) supφ(u) inf u∈X φ(u) put α(r ) := inf φ(u) 0, 0 ≤ a1 < a < b < b1 ≤ 1, A(x) ∈ C 1 ([a1 , a]) and B(x) ∈ C 1 ([b, b1 ]) where A(a1 ) = B(b1 ) = 0 and A(a) = B(b) = d. Moreover, there is c ∈ R, which 2c2 ≤ η :=
