Title: Existence of solutions for singular elliptic problems with singular nonlinearities and critical Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg exponent Author: Mohammed El Mokhtar Ould El Mokhtar (Qassim Univ., Buraidah: Saudi Arabia) Abstract: In this article, we consider a singular elliptic problem with singular nonlinearities and critical Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg exponent. By using variational methods and Palais-Smale condition, we show the existence of at least two nontrivial solutions. The result depends crucially on the parameters $a,b,N,\beta,\gamma,\lambda,\mu$.
