On an Emden-Fowler type equation (Q4030879)

The authors study the problem: \[ \Delta_ p u=- \text{div}(|\text{grad } u|^{p-2}\text{grad }u)= \lambda e^ u\text{ in }\Omega,\;u=0\text{ on }\partial\Omega, \] where \(\lambda>0\) and \(\Omega\) is a smooth bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^ n\). If \(1<p<n\), then there is a constant \(\lambda'\) such that for \(0<\lambda<\lambda'\) the problem has a solution. If \(p\geq n\), then for small \(\lambda\) there exist at least two solutions. There is \(\lambda_ 0\) such that for \(\lambda<\lambda_ 0\) the problem has no solutions. If \(\Omega=\mathbb{R}^ n\), then for all \(\lambda>0\) the solution does not exist in the class \(W_{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^ n)\).
