%0 Journal Article %T Weak solutions for degenerate semilinear elliptic BVPs in unbounded domains %A Rasmita Kar %J Electronic Journal of Differential Equations %D 2012 %I Texas State University %X In this article, we prove the existence of a weak solution for the degenerate semilinear elliptic Dirichlet boundary-value problem $$displaylines{ Lu(x)+sum_{i=1}^n g(x)h(u(x))D_iu(x)=f(x)quad hbox{in }Omega,cr u=0quad hbox{on }partialOmega, }$$ in a suitable weighted Sobolev space. Here $Omegasubsetmathbb{R}^n$, $1leq nleq3,$ is not necessarily bounded. %K Semilinear elliptic boundary value problem %K unbounded domain %K pseudomonotone operator %U http://ejde.math.txstate.edu/Volumes/2012/43/abstr.html
