An Elliptic Equation with Blowing-Up Diffusion and Data in L¹: Existence and Uniqueness (Q3043585)

The authors are interested in the study of the following nonlinear elliptic problem: \[ w\nabla u- \operatorname{div}[A(x,u)\nabla u]+g(u)=f \quad\text{in }\Omega, \qquad u=0 \quad\text{on }\partial\Omega, \tag{1} \] where \(w\in [L^2(\Omega)]^N\), \(A(x,\cdot)\) blows up for a finite value \(s_0\in\mathbb R\setminus\{0\}\), \(g:\Omega\times \mathbb R\to\mathbb R\) and \(f\in L^1(\Omega)\) are given data. The authors establish some existence and uniqueness results for (1). To this end the authors make use of the concept of renormalized solutions adapted to (1).
