Strongly nonlinear elliptic equations having natural growth terms and L1 data (Q4032201)

We prove the existence of solutions of nonlinear elliptic equations of the type \[ u\in W_ 0^{1,p} (\Omega); \qquad A(u)+ g(x,u,Du)= f\in L^ 1(\Omega), \] where \(A\) is a Leray-Lions operator and \(g\) is a nonlinear lower order term having ``natural growth'' (of order \(p\)) with respect to \(| Du|\). With respect to \(| u|\), we do not assume any growth restriction, but we assume the ``sign-condition'' \(g(x,s,\xi)s\geq 0\).
