Abstract

In the present paper, we deal with the existence of solutions to a class of an elliptic equation with Robin boundary condition. The problem is settled in Orlicz-Sobolev spaces and the main tool used is Ekeland's variational principle.

Keywords

Non-homogeneous Robin problem, Variational method, Ekeland variational principle, Orlicz-Sobolev spaces.
