Abstract

We are concerned with the existence of solutions of

-D p = f(x, u ) + h(x )      in W,      u = 0 on ¶W,

where D p is the p-Laplacian, p Î (1, ¥), and W is a bounded smooth domain in Rn.
  For h(x) º 0 and f(x, u) satisfying proper asymptotic spectral conditions, existence of a unique positive solution is obtained by invoking the sub-supersolution technique and the spectral method. For h(x) ¹ 0, with assumptions on asymptotic behavior of f(x, u) as u ® ±¥, an existence result is also proved.
