Abstract. This paper concerns the study of a nonlinear eigenvalue problem for the $(p,q)-$Laplacian with a positive weight \begin{equation*} -\Delta_{p}u-\Delta_{q}u=\lambda g(x) \vert u\vert^{p-2}u\text{ in } \Real^{N}. \end{equation*} Using the Mountain-Pass Theorem, we show the existence of a continuous set of positive eigenvalues.
