This paper provides multiplicity results for a class of nonlinear elliptic problems under a nonhomogeneous Neumann boundary condition. We prove the existence of three nontrivial solutions to these problems which depend on the Fucik spectrum of the negative $p$-Laplacian with a Robin boundary condition. Using variational and topological arguments combined with an equivalent norm on the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}$ it is obtained a smallest positive solution, a greatest negative solution, and a sign-changing solution.
