Abstract
In this paper, we study the existence of multiple solutions for the
singular problem

div
(
b

x
,
u
,

)
)
=
u

α

λ

)
in
Ω

u

0
in
Ω

u

ℝ

Ω
,
\left\{\begin{aligned} \displaystyle{}a(x,u,\nabla u)-{\rm div}(b(x,u,\nabla u%
))&\displaystyle=u^{-\alpha}+\lambda c(x,u)&&\displaystyle\phantom{}\text{in }%
\Omega,\\
\displaystyle u&\displaystyle>0&&\displaystyle\phantom{}\text{in }\Omega,\\
\displaystyle u&\displaystyle=0&&\displaystyle\phantom{}\text{on }{\mathbb{R}}%
