Abstract

We obtain a solution of the quasilinear equation in,, on. Here the nonlinearity is superlinear at zero, and it is located near infinity between two functions that belong to a class of functions where the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition is satisfied. More precisely, we consider the class of functions that are asymptotically homogeneous of index.
