#### Dragoş-Pătru Covei

Abstract. In this paper we prove the existence of positive solution for the following quasilinear problem

where is the p-Laplacian operator.
The proof is based on the results due to Diaz-Saa ([2]).

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35J60.
Keywords: quasilinear elliptic problem, p-Laplacian, positive solution.
