✦ Synopsis

In this paper we deal with the existence of weak solutions for quasilinear elliptic problem involving a p-Laplacian of the form

We consider the above problem under several conditions on f . For f "superlinear" and subcritical with respect to u, we prove the existence of infinitely many solutions of the above problem by using the "fountain theorem" and the "dual fountain theorem" respectively. For the case where f is critical with a subcritical perturbation, namely f (x, u) = |u| p * -2 u + |u| r -2 u, we show that there exists at least a nontrivial solution when p < r < p * and there exist infinitely many solutions when 1 < r < p, by using the "mountain pass theorem" and the "concentration-compactness principle" respectively.
