contents We consider the minmax Ljusternik-Schnirelmann levels of the constrained $p-$Dirichlet integral, on a general open set of the Euclidean space. We show that, whenever one of these levels lies below the threshold given by the $L^p$ Poincaré constant ``at infinity'', it actually defines an eigenvalue of the Dirichlet $p-$Laplacian. We also prove an exponential decay at infinity for the relevant eigenfunctions: this can be seen as a Šnol-Simon--type estimate for the nonlinear case. Finally, we exhibit some peculiar examples of unbounded open sets to which our main result applies.
