Existence of infinite energy solutions of degenerate elliptic equations (Q692841): Difference between revisions

The main aim of this article is to establish the existence of infinite energy solutions for degenerate elliptic equations of the form \[ \text{div}A(x,Du)=\text{div}f\;\text{in}\;\mathbb R^n, \] where \(A: \mathbb R^n\times \mathbb R^n\to \mathbb R\) is a Caratheodory function satisfying a Lipschitz condition and an elliptic condition, with \(A(x,0)\equiv 0\), and the nonlinearity \(f\) is assumed to belong to an Orlicz-Zygmund class. It is Theorem 1.2, the main result in this article, that establishes the existence of a solution \(u\) for which \(Du\in L^2\log^{-\alpha-1}L(\mathbb R^n) \). Also, the regularity of solutions is studied when \(f\) belongs to some suitable Lebesgue space.
