Purpose • The purpose of this talk is to study a class of

semilinear degenerate elliptic boundary value problems in the framework of Sobolev spaces

which include as particular cases the Dirichlet and Robin problems.

• The approach here is based on the following: (1) Minimax Method (2) Morse theory (3) Ljusternik-Schnirelmann theory.
