Nonlinear weighted p-Laplacian elliptic inequalities with gradient terms

In this paper, we give suffcient conditions for the existence and nonexistence of non-negative nontrivial entire weak solutions of p-Laplacian elliptic inequalities, with possibly singular weights and gradient terms. We achieve our conclusions by using a generalized version of the well-known Keller–Ossermann condition, first introduced in [2] for the generalized mean curvature case, and in [11, Sec. 4] for the nonweighted p-Laplacian equation. Several existence results are also proved in Secs. 2 and 3, from which we deduce simple criteria of independent interest stated in the Introduction.
