Generic existence result for an eigenvalue problem with rapidly growing principal operator
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Tome 10 (2004) no. 4, pp. 677-691.

We consider the eigenvalue problem

- div (a(|u|)u)=λg(x,u)inΩu=0onΩ,
in the case where the principal operator has rapid growth. By using a variational approach, we show that under certain conditions, almost all λ>0 are eigenvalues.
