Abstract

Positive solutions are obtained for the boundary value problem \begin{alignat*}{2} \left\{ \begin{aligned} -\Delta _{p}u&= \lambda (u^{\beta }+\tfrac{1}{u^{\alpha }}) &\; &\hbox{in } \Omega \\ u&> 0 &\; &\hbox{in } \Omega \\ u&= 0 &\; &\hbox{on }\partial \Omega\,, \end{aligned}% \right. \tag{*} \end{alignat*} where Δpu=\dive(up2u)\Delta _{p}u=\dive(| \nabla u| ^{p-2}\nabla u), 1<p<N1<p<N, N3N\geq 3, ΩRN\Omega \subset {\mathbb R}^{N} is a bounded domain, 0<α<10<\alpha <1 and p1<β<p1p-1<\beta <p^{\ast }-1 \big(p=NpNpp^{\ast }=\frac{Np}{N-p}\big) are two constants, λ>0\lambda >0 is a real parameter. We obtain that Problem (*) has two positive weakly solutions if λ\lambda is small enough.
