Papageorgiou (National Technical Univ., Athens, Greece) Calogero Vetro (Univ. of Palermo, Italy) Francesca Vetro (independent researcher, Palermo, Italy) Abstract: We consider a nonlinear Dirichlet problem driven by the $(p,q)$-Laplacian and with a reaction consisting of a singular term plus a negative perturbation. Using regularization of the singular term and truncation and comparison techniques, we show that the problem has a unique positive smooth solution. Submitted July 11, 2022. Published March 06, 2023.
