We prove a result of existence of positive solutions for the p-Laplacian problem -Delta p(u) = omega(x) f (u, |del u|) with Dirichlet boundary condition in a bounded domain Omega subset of R-N, where omega is a weight function. As in previous results by the authors, and in contrast with the hypotheses usually made, no asymptotic behaviour is assumed on f, but simple geometric assumptions in a neighbourhood of the first eigenvalue of the p-Laplacian operator. We start by solving the problem in a radial domain by applying the Schauder fixed point theorem and this result is used to construct an ordered pair of sub- and super-solution, also valid for nonlinearities which are super-linear at both the origin and +infinity, which is a remarkable fact. We apply our method to the p-growth problem -Delta(p)u = lambda u(x)(q-1)(1 + |del u(x)|(p)) (1 < q < p) in Omega with Dirichlet boundary conditions and give examples of super-linear nonlinearities which are also handled by our method.
