Hans Lepuschütz was a great specialist of the logical multimover and a member of the Graz chess problem school (Grazer Schule) which linked logical combinations and aesthetic mate positions.
The Lepuschütz theme means chess provocation by White in a multimover, usually with a logical motivation. Hans Peter Rehm presented the Lepuschütz theme on berlinthema.de. Please have a look at these problems, you will not regret it.
MontFuji presented in detail (in French, on France-Echecs.com) a doubled Lepuschütz and pendular movements associated with the Lepuschütz theme, as well as pendular movements associated with the doubled Lepuschütz theme and a Holst promotion.
Here is an economical presentation of the theme in Meredith:

Michael Pasman is a very prolific endgame study composer. As a titled (IM) o.t.b. player he knows how to compose a study that is attractive for solvers and since 2019 he has won many prizes in composing tourneys.

It is a wealthy resource with his bio and among others all his own published studies by years with playable solutions (from 2019 to 2024) but also all studies by all composers awarded during the year (for instance: 2024).
Below is a study composed for the Israel Solving Championship:
