• In this paper, we prove the existence of a nontrivial solution for the following boundary value problem

$\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{ - {\rm{div}}(\omega (x)|\nabla u(x){|^{N - 2}}\nabla u(x)) = f(x,u),\;\;\quad }&{\;\;\;\;\;{\rm{in}}\;B;}\\{u = 0,\;\;\quad }&{\;\;\;\;\;{\rm{on}}\;\partial B,}\end{array}} \right.{\rm{ }}\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\left( 1 \right)$

where $B$ is the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 2$, the radial positive weight $\omega(x)$ is of logarithmic type, the function $f(x,u)$ is continuous in $B\times\mathbb{R}$ and has critical double exponential growth, which behaves like $\exp\{e^{\alpha |u|^{\frac{N}{N-1}}}\}$ as $|u|\to\infty$ for some $\alpha>0$.
