ON A CLASS OF SINGULAR P-LAPLACIAN SEMIPOSITONE PROBLEMS WITH SIGN-CHANGING WEIGHT

We study existence of positive weak solution for a class of $p$-Laplacian problem $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll}-\Delta_{p}u = \lambda g(x)[f(u)-\frac{1}{u^{\alpha}}], & x\in \Omega,\\u= 0 ,  & x\in\partial \Omega,\end{array\right.$$ where $\lambda$ is a positive parameter and $\alpha\in(0,1),$ $\Omega $ is a bounded domain in $ R^{N}$ for $(N > 1)$ with smooth boundary, $\Delta_{p}u = div (|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u)$ is the p-Laplacian operator for $( p > 2),$ $g(x)$ is $C^{1}$ sign-changing function such that maybe negative near the boundary and be positive in the interior and $f$ is $C^{1}$ nondecreasing function $\lim_{s\to\infty}\frac{f(s)}{s^{p-1}}=0.$ We discuss the existence of positive weak solution when $f$ and $g$ satisfy certain additional conditions. We use the method of sub-supersolution to establish our result.
