Abstract: This paper concerns the existence of a solution for the following class of semipositone quasilinear problems �egin{equation*} left { �egin{array}{rclcl} -Delta_p u = h(x)(f(u)-a), & u > 0 & mbox{in} & mathbb{R}^N, end{array} ight. end{equation*} where 1<p<N, a>0, f:[0,+infty)o[0,+infty) is a function with subcritical growth and f(0)=0, while h:mathbbRNo(0,+infty) is a continuous function that satisfies some technical conditions. We prove via nonsmooth critical points theory and comparison principle, that a solution exists for a small enough. We also provide a version of Hopf's Lemma and a Liouville-type result for the p-Laplacian in the whole mathbbRN.
