Strongly nonlinear elliptic variational unilateral problems in Orlicz space

Abstract

We will be concerned with the existence result of unilateral problem associated to the equations of the formAu+g(x,u,∇u)=f, whereAis a Leray-Lions operator from its domainD(A)⊂W01LM(Ω)intoW−1EM¯(Ω). On the nonlinear lower order termg(x,u,∇u), we assume that it is a Carathéodory function having natural growth with respect to|∇u|, and satisfies the sign condition. The right-hand sidefbelongs toW−1EM¯(Ω).
