Sharp estimates and existence for anisotropic elliptic problems with general growth in the gradient (Q2634630)

Summary: In this paper, we prove sharp estimates and existence results for anisotropic nonlinear elliptic problems with lower order terms depending on the gradient. Our prototype is: \[ \begin{cases} -\mathcal{Q}_p u =[H(Du)]^q+f(x) &\quad \text{in }\Omega,\\ u=0&\quad \text{on }\partial\Omega.\end{cases} \] Here \(\Omega\) is a bounded open set of \(\mathbb R^N\), \(N\geq 2\), \(0<p-1 <q\leq p<N\), and \(\mathcal Q_p\) is the anisotropic operator \[ \mathcal Q_p u=\operatorname{div}\left( [H(Du)]^{p-1}H_\xi (Du)\right), \] where \(H\) is a suitable norm of \(\mathbb R^N\). Moreover, \(f\) belongs to a suitable Marcinkiewicz space.
