Abstract
This paper concerns quasilinear elliptic equations of the form
-div ([[absolute value of [nabla]u].sup.p-2] [nabla]u) = [lambda]a (x)u(x) [[absolute value of u].sup.p-2] (1 - [[absolute value of u].sup.[gamma]]
in [R.sup.N] with p > 1 and a(x) changes sign. We discuss the question of existence and multiplicity of solutions when a(x) has some specific properties.
AMS subject classification: 35J70, 35B32, 35B40.
Keywords: The p-Laplacian, variational method, multiple solutions.
