To this aim, we use variational arguments and the Rabinowitz's perturbation method which is adapted to our setting and exploits a weak version of the Cerami-Palais-Smale condition. Furthermore, if \(A(x,t,\xi)\) grows fast enough with respect to \(t\), then the nonlinear term related to \(g(x,t)\) may have also a supercritical growth.", keywords = "quasilinear elliptic equation, weak Cerami-Palais-Smale condition, Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition, break of symmetry, perturbation method, supercritical growth", issn = "1232-9274" }
