Abstract
In this paper we establish the existence of a solution to a nonlinear Dirichlet problem when the derivative at infinity of the nonlinearity is smaller than the first eigenvalue. The proof relies on a fundamental minimization theorem for functionals derived from the Ekeland variational principle.
