In the present paper we investigate the following singular elliptic problem with $p$-Laplacian operator: \begin{equation*} (P)\qquad \left \{ \begin{array}{l} -\Delta_p u = \frac{K(x)}{ u^{\alpha}}\quad \text{ in } \Omega \\ u = 0\ \text{ on } \partial\Omega,\ u>0 \text{ on } \Omega, \end{array} \right . \end{equation*} where $\Omega$ is a regular bounded domain of $\mathbb R^{N}$, $\alpha\in\mathbb R$, $K\in L^\infty_{\rm loc}(\Omega)$ a non-negative function. We discuss below the existence, the regularity and the uniqueness of a weak solution $u$ to the problem (P).
Keywords: regulariy., singular nonlinearity, uniqueness, Quasilinear elliptic problem.
