We will prove that the problem (P) has a positive solution for ℓ large enough and does not have positive solutions for ℓ less than the first eigenvalue of the operator. We prove also that the method works for the case when f(x, s) is sub-critical and super-linear at +∞.2010 Mathematics Subject classification: 35J05, 35J65, 35J20, 35J60, 35K57, 35J70.
