This paper deals with positive solutions of a class of nonlinear eigenvalue problems. For a quasilinear elliptic problem (#) - div (ϕ(|∇u|)∇u) = λf(x,u) in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω, we assume asymptotic conditions on ϕ and f such as ϕ(t) ~ tp0-2, f(x,t) ~ tq0-1as t → +0 and ϕ(t) ~ tp1-2, f(x,t) ~ tq1-1as t → ∞. The combined effects of sub-nonlinearity (p0> q0) and super-nonlinearity (p1< q1) with the subcritical term f(x,u) imply the existence of at least two positive solutions of (#) for 0 < λ < Λ.
