Let $p\in ]1,+\infty[$, let $r,s\in ]0,p[$, with $r < s$, and let $\lambda\in ]0,+\infty[$. In this paper, we present some recent existence and multiplicity results on the solutions of the Dirichlet problem for the elliptic equation $$ -\Delta_p u= (\lambda |u|^{s-2}u- |u|^{r-2}u)\chi_{\{u\neq 0\}} $$ in a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$, with $0$-boundary data. Some related open questions are also proposed.
Keywords: Elliptic boundary value problem, nonnegative solution, positive solution, least energy solution, least energy nodal solution, variational methods, indefinite nonlinearities.
