Abstract: We investigate zero energy critical points for a class of functionals $Ph{i}_{m}u$ defined on a uniformly convex Banach space, and depending on a real parameter $mu$. More precisely, we show the existence of a sequence $(m{u}_n)$ such that $Ph{i}_{m{u}_n}$ has a pair of critical points $pm{u}_n$ satisfying $Ph{i}_{m{u}_n}(pm{u}_n)=0$, for every $n$. In addition, we provide some properties of $m{u}_n$ and $u_n$. This result, which is proved via a fibering map approach (based on the {it nonlinear generalized Rayleigh quotient} method cite{I1}) combined with the Ljusternik-Schnirelman theory, is then applied to several classes of elliptic pdes.
