Abstract
We consider the following elliptic problem of exponential-type growth posed in an open bounded domain with smooth boundary B-1 (0, and h(t) is assumed to be a smooth perturbation of et as t (see (H1)-(H4) below). We employ variational methods in order to show the existence of at least two distinct (positive) solutions to the problem (P) in H2H01(B1(0)).
