In this article, we consider existence and nonexistence of solutions to problem {-Delta(p)u + g(x, u)vertical bar del ur vertical bar(p) = f in Omega, (0.1) u = 0 in partial derivative Omega, with 1 < p < infinity, where f is a positive measurable function which is bounded away from 0 in Omega, and the domain Omega is a smooth bounded open set in R-N (N >= 2). Especially, under the condition that g(x, s) = 1/vertical bar s vertical bar(alpha) (alpha > 0) is singular at alpha = 0, we obtain that alpha < p is necessary and sufficient for the existence of solutions in W-0(1,p)(Omega) to problem (0.1) when f is sufficiently regular.
