Solutions of nonlinear elliptic problems with lower order terms

2015, Annals of Functional Analysis

Abstract

We give an existence result for strongly nonlinear elliptic equations of the form −div(a(x, u, ∇u)) + g(x, u, ∇u) + H(x, ∇u) = µ in Ω, where the right hand side belongs to L 1 (Ω) + W −1,p (Ω) and −div(a(x, u, ∇u)) is a Leray-Lions type operator with growth |∇u| p−1 in ∇u. The critical growth condition on g is with respect to ∇u and no growth condition with respect to u, while the function H(x, ∇u) grows as |∇u| p−1 .
