Abstract: Let us consider the quasilinear problem [ (P_varepsilon) left{ �egin{array}{ll} - varepsilon^p Delta _{p}u + u^{p-1} = f(u) & hbox{in} Omega

ewline u>0 & hbox{in} Omega

ewline u=0 & hbox{on} partial Omega end{array} ight. ] where $Omega$ is a bounded domain in $mathbb{R}^N$ with smooth boundary, $Ngeq2$, $1<p<2$, $varepsilon>0$ is a parameter and $f:mathbbRomathbbR$ is a continuous function with $f(0)=0$, having a subcritical growth. We prove that there exists $varepsilo{n}^{\ast }>0$ such that, for every $varepsilonin(0,varepsilo{n}^{\ast })$, $(P_{v}arepsilon)$ has at least $2{mathcalP}_1(Omega)-1$ solutions, possibly counted with their multiplicities, where ${mathcalP}_t(Omega)$ is the Poincar'e polynomial of $Omega$. Using Morse techniques, we furnish an interpretation of the multiplicity of a solution, in terms of positive distinct solutions of a quasilinear equation on $Omega$, approximating $(P_{v}arepsilon)$.
