Existence and multiplicity of solutions for anisotropic elliptic equation

Abstract

In this article we study the nonlinear problem $$\left\{ \begin{array}{lr} -\sum_{i=1}^{N}\partial_{x_{i}}a_{i}(x,\partial_{x_{i}}u)+ b(x)~|u|^{P_{+}^{+}-2}u =\lambda f(x,u) \quad in \quad \Omega\\ u=0 \qquad on \qquad \partial\Omega \end{array} \right.$$ Using the variational method, under appropriate assumptions on $f$, we obtain a result on existence and multiplicity of solutions.
