Summary: We consider the eigenvalue problem for the following \(p\)-Laplacian-like equation: \[ -\text{div} (a(|Du|^p)|Du|^{p-2}Du)=\lambda f(x,u) \quad\text{in }\Omega, \qquad u=0\quad\text{on }\partial \Omega, \] where \(\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n\) is a bounded smooth domain. When \(\lambda\) is small enough, a multiplicity result for eigenfunctions are obtained. Two examples from nonlinear quantized mechanics and capillary phenomena, respectively, are given for applications of the theorems.
