We establish the multiplicity of positive weak solutions for the quasilinear Dirichlet problem −Lpu + |u|p−2u = h(u) in Ωλ, u = 0 on ∂Ωλ, where Ωλ = λΩ, Ω is a bounded domain in ℝN, λ is a positive parameter, Lpu ≐ Δpu + Δp(u2)u and the nonlinear term h(u) has subcritical growth. We use minimax methods together with the Lyusternik–Schnirelmann category theory to get multiplicity of positive solutions.
