We prove the existence of three non-zero periodic solutions for an ordinary differential inclusion. Our approach is variational and based on a multiplicity theorem for the critical points of a nonsmooth functional, which extends a recent result of Ricceri.
Keywords: Multiplicity, Variational methods., Ordinary differential inclusions, Periodic solutions.
