The paper deals with superlinear elliptic boundary value problems depending on a parameter. Given appropriate hypotheses concerning the asymptotic behaviour of the nonlinearity, we prove lower bounds on the number of solutions. The results generalize a theorem due to Lazer and McKenna within the framework of quasi-Banach spaces of Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces.
