Abstract

In the present work, we prove an existence and uniqueness result of solutions to a quasilinear elliptic problem with nonlinear singular terms in the weighted Sobolev space. The equation that we consider is the following

$$\begin{aligned} -\Delta _{p(\cdot )}^{\omega } u+\beta (u)=\frac{f(x)}{u^{\alpha }}, \end{aligned}$$

where \(\alpha \ge 1\), \(\beta \) is a continuous non decreasing surjective real function on \({\mathbb {R}}\), f is a nonnegative function belonging to the Lebesgue space \(L^{m}(\Omega )\) and \(m\ge 1\).
