The existence result is proved with no use of a Liouville theorem for the limit problem obtained via the usual blow up method, in particular we refer to the modified version by Ruiz. In particular our existence theorem extends a result by Lorca and Ubilla in two directions, namely by considering a nonlinearity which includes in the gradient term a power of \(u\) and by removing the growth condition for the nonlinearity \(f\) at \(u=0\).
