Abstract: By means of lower and supper solutions method, we prove the existence and non-existence of ground state solutions for quasilinear elliptic equations with a convection term. Extending previous results of Goncalves and Silva (2010).

Keywords: quasilinear elliptic equations; lower solutions; super solutions; radially symmetric; ground state solutions; convection.
