Title: On the solvability of degenerated quasilinear elliptic problems Authors: Youssef Akdim (Faculte des Sciences Dhar-Mahraz, Maroc) Elhoussine Azroul (Faculte des Sciences Dhar-Mahraz, Maroc) Mohamed Rhoudaf (Faculte des Sciences Dhar-Mahraz, Maroc) Abstract: In this article, we study the quasilinear elliptic problem $$\displaylines{ Au = - \mathop{\rm div} (a(x,u,\nabla u)) = f(x,u,\nabla u) \quad\hbox{in } \mathcal{D}'(\Omega) \cr u = 0 \quad\hbox{on }\partial\Omega\,, }$$ where $A$ is a Leray-Lions operator from $W_0^{1,p}(\Omega,w)$ to its dual $W^{-1,p'}(\Omega,w^*)$. We show that there exists a solution in $W_0^{1,p}(\Omega,w)$ provided that $$ |f(x,r, \xi)|\leq \sigma^{1/q} [ g(x)+|r|^\eta \sigma^{\eta/q} + \sum_{i=1}^N w_i^{\delta/p}(x)|\xi_i|^\delta], $$ where $g(x)$ is a positive function in $L^{q'}(\Omega)$ and $\sigma(x)$ is weight function and $0 \leq \eta < \min (p-1,q-1)$, $0 \leq \delta < (p-1)/q'$.
