Quelques remarques sur les problèmes elliptiques quasilinéaires du second ordre. (Some remarks on second order quasilinear elliptic problems) (Q1820311)

The author considers the equation \[ (1)\quad -\Delta u+H(x,Du)+\alpha u=0\quad in\quad G \] where G is a bounded open subset of \(R^ N\), \(\alpha\geq 0\), \(H(x,p)=\lambda | p|^ m-f(x)\) for (x,p)\(\in \bar G\times R^ N\), \(m>1\), and \(f\in W^{1,\infty}(G)\) is given. He proves some existence and uniqueness results for (1) with Neumann boundary conditions. Moreover, he studies the behaviour of solutions as \(\alpha\) tends to zero. Some results are given also for \(f\in L^ q(G)\), \(q>N.\) It is interesting to point out that no restrictions are made on m, while similar results on quasilinear equations generally hold when \(m\leq 2\).
