Abstract

We consider the boundary value problem Δpu=λc(x)up2u+μ(x)\gradup+h(x)-\Delta_p u = \lambda c(x) |u|^{p-2}u + \mu(x) |\grad u|^p + h(x), uW01,p(Ω)L(Ω)u \in W^{1,p}_0(\Omega) \cap L^{\infty}(\Omega), where ΩRN\Omega \subset \mathbb R^N, N2N \geq 2, is a bounded domain with smooth boundary. We assume cc, hLq(Ω)h \in L^q(\Omega) for some q>max{N/p,1}q > \max\{N/p,1\} with c0c \gneqq 0 and μL(Ω)\mu \in L^{\infty}(\Omega). We prove existence and uniqueness results in the coercive case λ0 \lambda \leq 0 and existence and multiplicity results in the non-coercive case λ>0 \lambda >0. Also, considering stronger assumptions on the coefficients, we clarify the structure of the set of solutions in the non-coercive case.
