One-sided problems for elliptic operators with convex constraints on the gradient of the solution. I (Q1072007)

The author coniders a one-sided problem for a second order elliptic operator in a bounded domain \(\Omega\) with a \(C^ 2\)-boundary, proving the existence of a solution of class \(\cap_{1<p<\infty}W^ 2_{p,loc} (\Omega)\cap C^{0,1}({\bar \Omega})\) under certain conditions on the coefficients of the operator and on the closed convex sets associated with the problem.
