Abstract

We study the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary value problem of generalized Laplacian equations with a singular weight which may not be integrable. Some existence, multiplicity and nonexistence results of positive solutions under two different asymptotic behaviors of the nonlinearity at 0 and \(\infty \) are established in terms of different ranges of a parameter. Our approach is based on the fixed point theorem of expansion/compression of a cone and Schauder’s fixed point theorem.
