We consider the existence and nonexistence of solutions for the following singular quasi-linear elliptic problem with concave and convex nonlinearities: ⎧ $-{div\left(\right|x|}^{-ap}{\left|\nabla u\right|}^{p-2}{\nabla u)+h\left(x\right)|u|}^{p-2}u=g\left(x\right){\left|u\right|}^{r-2}u$, x ∈ Ω, ⎨ ⎩ ${\left|x\right|}^{-ap}{\left|\nabla u\right|}^{p-2}\partial u/\partial \nu =\lambda f\left(x\right){\left|u\right|}^{q-2}u$, x ∈ ∂Ω, where Ω is an exterior domain in ${ℝ}^N$, that is, $\Omega ={ℝ}^N\setminus D$, where D is a bounded domain in ${ℝ}^N$ 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 study the existence of positive solutions of the quasilinear problem ⎧ $-{\Delta }_{N}u+{V\left(x\right)\left|u\right|}^{N-2}u={f(u,|\nabla u|}^{N-2}\nabla u)$, $x\in {ℝ}^N$, ⎨ ⎩ u(x) > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$, where ${\Delta }_{N}u={div\left(\right|\nabla u|}^{N-2}\nabla u)$ is the N-Laplacian operator, $V:{ℝ}^N\to ℝ$ is a continuous potential, $f:ℝ\times {ℝ}^N\to ℝ$ is a continuous function. The main result follows from an iterative method based on Mountain Pass techniques.
