We study the existence of principal eigenvalues and principal eigenfunctions for weighted eigenvalue problems of the form: - div ( L (x) |∇ u|p-2 ∇ u ) = λK(x) |u|p-2 u \hspace.1cm \mbox in \hspace.1cm ℝN , where λ∈ ℝ, p>1, K : ℝN → ℝ, L : ℝN → ℝ+ are locally integrable functions. The weight function K is allowed to change sign, provided it remains positive on a set of nonzero measure. We establish the existence, regularity, and asymptotic behavior of the principal eigenfunctions. We also prove local and global antimaximum principles for a perturbed version of the problem.
