has been studied extensively. In case of γ = 0, Bahri-Coron [1] obtained the existence and ∗ multiplicity results for solutions of problem (1.2) with f (x, u) = |u|2 −2 u, and Passaseo [21] proved that problem (1.2) admits at least two weak solutions in H01 (Ω). In the case of γ 6= 0, we recall that the existence of solutions for problem (1.1) has been obtained under different hypotheses on f (x, u); see Cao-Han [6], Chen [5], A. Ferrero, F.
