Title: Nonlinear Dirichlet problems with the combined effects of singular and convection terms Authors: Yunru Bai (Jagiellonian Univ.,Krakow, Poland) Leszek Gasinski (Pedagogical Univ. of Cracow, Poland) Nikolaos S. Papageorgiou (National Technical Univ., Athens, Greece) Abstract: We consider a nonlinear Dirichlet elliptic problem driven by the p-Laplacian. In the reaction term of the equation we have the combined effects of a singular term and a convection term. Using a topological approach based on the fixed point theory (the Leray-Schauder alternative principle), we prove the existence of a positive smooth solution. Submitted November 12, 2018.
