We consider a nonlinear nonhomogeneous Robin problem, with an indefinite concave term near the origin and a perturbation of arbitrary growth. By modifying the perturbation and using a variant of the symmetric mountain pass theorem due to Heinz (J. Diff. Equ. 66 (1987)), we show that the problem has a whole sequence of distinct nontrivial smooth solutions converging to the trivial solution.
