Abstract: We establish existence and multiplicity of positive solutions to the quasilinear boundary value problem

\begin{displaymath}\begin{split} \text{$div$ }(\vert\nabla u\vert^{p-2}\nabla u)... ...ega , u &= 0\text{ \ on }\partial \Omega , \end{split}\end{displaymath}

where $\Omega $ is a bounded domain in $R^{n}$ with smooth boundary $ \partial \Omega $, $f:[0,\infty )\rightarrow R$ is continuous and p-sublinear at $\infty ,$ and $\lambda $ is a large parameter.
