Abstract: We consider the following reaction-diffusion equation-Δpu=am(x)up-1-buγ-1-ch(x),x∈Ω,u(x)=0,x∈∂Ω,where Δp denotes the p-Laplacian operator defined by Δpz=div(∣∇z∣p−2∇z); p>1, γ(>p); a,b and c are positive constant, Ω is a smooth bounded domain in RN(N⩾3) with ∂Ω of class C1,β for β∈(0,1) and connected. The weight m satisfying m∈C(Ω) and m(x)⩾m0>0 for x∈Ω, also ∥m∥∞=l<∞ and h:Ω¯→R is a C1,α(Ω¯) function satisfying h(x)⩾0 for x∈Ω, h(x)≢0, maxh(x)=1 for x∈Ω¯ and h(x)=0 for x∈∂Ω. Here u is the population density, am(x)up−1−buγ−1 represents the logistic growth and ch(x) represents the constant yield harvesting rate [Oruganti S, Shi J, Shivaji R. Diffusive logistic equation with constant yield harvesting. I: steady states. Trans Am Math Soc 2002;354(9):3601–19]. We prove the existence of the positive solution under certain conditions.
