In this paper, we study the existence results of a quasilinear elliptic problem involving the 1-biharmonic operator in , whose nonlinearity satisfies appropriate conditions. The existence theorem is proved through a new version of the Mountain Pass Theorem to locally Lipschitz functionals, where it is considered the Cerami compactness condition rather than the Palais–Smale one.
