Denoting \(T=[0,b]\) and \(Z\subset \mathbb{R}^N\) a bounded smooth domain the author deals with the existence of weak solutions for the initial boundary value problem \[ { \partial x\over \partial t}-\sum^N_{k=1} D_ka_k (t,z,x,Dx) +a_0(t,z,x) \sum^N_{k=1} D_kx= f(x)+h \quad\text{in } T\times Z, \] \[ x(0,z) =x_0(z) \quad\text{a.e. on } Z,\quad x(t,z)=0 \quad\text{on }T \times \partial Z, \] where the coefficients \(a_k\) satisfy the usual Leray-Lions conditions and \(f\) is a locally bounded measurable, not necessarily continuous function. Assuming the existence of an upper solution \(\varphi\) and a lower solution \(\psi\) with \(\psi\leq \varphi\) it is shown that there exists at least one solution \(x\) such that \(\psi (t,z)\leq x(t,z) \leq\varphi (t,z)\) a.e. in \(T\times Z\). The proof is based on results for pseudomonotone operators and on multivalued analysis. Reviewer's remark: Proposition 1 of the paper is proved in a more general setting in a previous paper of \textit{J. Berkovits} and \textit{V. Mustonen} [Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl. 27, 1397-1405 (1996; Zbl 0894.34055)].
