Entire Bounded Solutions for a Class of Quasilinear Elliptic Equations

Abstract

We consider the problem where is not identically zero. Under the condition that satisfies (H), we show that there exists such that the above-mentioned equation admits at least one solution for all. This extends the results of Laplace equation to the case of-Laplace equation.
