LET G be a bounded open subset of lRN and 1< p< N. The main goal of this work is to study the existence of a solution u to the following quasilinear equation i-div (] Du] p-ZDU)= a (x) u+ up*-’ in G u> o in G(0.1) u= o on aG where QEL”(G) and p*= Np/(N-p). The solutions of (0.1) correspond to the critical points of the following functional defined on W,,‘* p (G)Asp* is the critical Sobolev exponent corresponding to the noncompact embedding of WdVp (G) into tp’(G), Q does not in general satisfy the Palais-Smale condition and it is not possible to obtain critical points of Q, via simple variational arguments. When p= 2 equation (0.1) has been intensively studied. The first striking result in that case is due to Pohozaev [21] who proved that if G is starshaped with respect to some point and u= 0 then (0.1) admits no solution, but when a is not zero, Brezis and Nirenberg proved [5] that the situation is different: when N 2 4 the equation
