We consider the existence and nonexistence of solutions for the following singular quasi-linear elliptic problem with concave and convex nonlinearities: ⎧ - d i v ( | x | - a p | u | p - 2 u ) + h ( x ) | u | p - 2 u = g ( x ) | u | r - 2 u , x ∈ Ω, ⎨ ⎩ | x | - a p | u | p - 2 u / ν = λ f ( x ) | u | q - 2 u , x ∈ ∂Ω, where Ω is an exterior domain in N , that is, Ω = N D , where D is a bounded domain in N with smooth boundary ∂D(=∂Ω), and 0 ∈ Ω. Here λ > 0, 0 ≤ a < (N-p)/p, 1 < p< N, ∂/∂ν is the outward normal derivative on ∂Ω. By the variational method, we prove the existence of multiple solutions. By the test function method, we give a sufficient condition under which the problem has no nontrivial nonnegative solutions.
