In this paper, we construct the pseudo-gradient vector field in W-0(1,p)(Omega), by which we obtain the positive and negative cones of W-0(1,p)(Omega) are both invariant sets of the descent flow of the corresponding functional. Then we use differential equations theory in Banach spaces and dynamics theory to study p-Laplacian boundary value problems with "jumping" nonlinearities at zero or infinity, and get new multiple solutions and sign-changing solutions theorems of p-Laplacian.
