An investigation is undertaken of the uniformly elliptic boundary value problem \[ \text{div} [a(x,u, \nabla u)+ \Phi(u)] =f\quad\text{in}\quad \Omega,\quad u=0\quad{on}\quad \partial\Omega, \] where \(a: \Omega \times \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^N \to\mathbb{R}^N\) is a Caratheodory function, \(f\in L^1 (\Omega)\), and \(\Phi\in C^0 (\mathbb{R}, \mathbb{R}^N)\) with non-growth hypotheses on the function \(\Phi\). The author considers the weak formulation of the above problem and establishes the existence of solutions under technical conditions imposed on the corresponding test functions (the so-called ``entropy conditions''). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0873.00025].
