The present paper is concerned with the Dirichlet boundary value problem for nonlinear cone degenerate elliptic equations. First we introduce the weighted Sobolev spaces, inequalities and the property of compactness. After the appropriate energy functional established, we obtain the existence of infinitely many solutions in the weighted Sobolev spaces by applying the variational methods.

Keywords: Degenerate operator, conical singularity, variational methods, weighted Sobolev spaces.
