Existence of weak solutions to degenerate p-Laplacian equations and integral formulas

We study the problem of solving some general integral formulas and then apply the conclusions to obtain results about the existence of weak solutions of various degenerate p-Laplacian equations. We adapt Variational Calculus methods and the Mountain Pass Lemma without the Palais-Smale condition, and we use an abstract version of Lions' Concentration Compactness Principle II.
