A non-linear monotone equation with degenerate weight function is considered. In the general case the smooth functions are not dense in the corresponding weighted Sobolev space W, which leads to a non-uniqueness of a particular kind. Taking for the energy space either W itself or its subspace H equal to the closure of the smooth functions one obtains at least two uniquely soluble problems. In addition, there exist infinitely many weak solutions distinct from the W- and H-solutions. The problem of approximability or attainability is considered: which solutions of the original equation can be obtained as limits of solutions of the equations with suitable non-degenerate weights? It is shown that the W- and the H-solutions are attainable; in both cases a regular approximation algorithm is described. Bibliography: 14 titles.
