description

We consider a nonlinear nonparametric Dirichlet problem driven by the sum of a p-Laplacian and of a Laplacian (a (p, 2)-equation) and a reaction which involves a singular term and a $$(p-1)$$ -superlinear perturbation. Using variational tools and suitable truncation and comparison techniques, we show that the problem has two positive smooth solutions.
