Appendix
Appendix
Let \(\varphi \) and \(\psi \) be two complementary Musielak–Orlicz functions.
We are interested here in the Dirichlet problem for the operator
on \(\Omega \).
The basic conditions imposed on the coefficients \(A_{\alpha }\) of (6.1) are the followings:
- \((A_1)\) :
-
Each \(A_{\alpha }(x, \xi )\) is a real valued function defined on \(\Omega \times \mathbb {R}^{N}\) is measurable in x for fixed \(\xi \) and continuous in \(\xi \) for fixed x.
- \((A_2)\) :
-
There exist two Musielak–Orlicz functions \(\gamma \) and \( \varphi \) with \(\gamma \prec \prec \varphi \), functions \(a_{\alpha }\) in \(E_{\psi }(\Omega )\), constants \(c_1\) and \(c_2\) such that for all x in \(\Omega \) and \(\xi \) in \(\mathbb {R}^{N}\),if
$$\begin{aligned} |\alpha |= & {} m : |A_{\alpha }(x, \xi )| \le a_{\alpha }(x) + c_1 \sum _{|\beta | = m} \psi _x^{-1}(\varphi (x,c_2 \xi _\beta )) \\&+\, c_1 \sum _{|\beta | < m} \overline{\gamma _x}^{-1}(\varphi (x,c_2 \xi _\beta )), \end{aligned}$$if
$$\begin{aligned} |\alpha |< & {} m : |A_{\alpha }(x, \xi )| \le a_{\alpha }(x) + c_1 \sum _{|\beta | = m} \psi _x^{-1}(\gamma (x,c_2 \xi _\beta )) \\&+\, c_1 \sum _{|\beta | < m} \psi _x^{-1}(\varphi (x,c_2 \xi _\beta )). \end{aligned}$$ - \((A_3)\) :
-
For each \(x\in \Omega , \ \eta \in \mathbb {R}^{N}, \ \xi ,\) and \(\xi '\) in \(\mathbb {R}^{N}\) with \(\xi \ne \xi '\),
$$\begin{aligned} \sum _{|\alpha | = m} (A_{\alpha }(x, \xi , \eta ) - A_{\alpha }(x, \xi ', \eta )) \left( \xi _{\alpha } - \xi _{\alpha }'\right) > 0. \end{aligned}$$ - \((A_4)\) :
-
There exist functions \(b_\alpha (x)\) in \(E_{\psi }(\Omega )\), b(x) in \(L^1(\Omega )\), positive constants \(d_1\) and \(d_2\) such that, for some fixed element v in \(W_0^mE_\varphi (\Omega )\),
$$\begin{aligned} \sum _{|\alpha |\le m} A_\alpha (x, \xi ) ( \xi _\alpha - D^\alpha v) \ge d_1 \sum _{|\alpha |\le m} \varphi (x,d_2\xi _\alpha )- \sum _{|\alpha |\le m} b_\alpha (x) \xi _\alpha - b(x) \end{aligned}$$for all x in \(\Omega \) and \(\xi \) in \(\mathbb {R}^{N}\).
Associated to the differential operator 6.1 we define a mapping T from
into \(W^{-m}L_{\psi }(\Omega )\) by the formula
for \(v\in W_0^mL_\varphi (\Omega ).\)
For the perturbing function \(g : \Omega \times \mathbb {R} \rightarrow \mathbb {R}, \), we assume the usual conditions. \((G_1)\) g(x, u) is a Carathéodory function and satisfies the sign condition
for a.e. x in \(\Omega \) and all u in \(\mathbb {R}\).
\((G_2)\) For each \(r\ge 0\), there exists \(h_r \in L^1(\Omega ) \) such that
for a.e. x in \(\Omega \) and all u in \(\mathbb {R}\) with \(|u|\le r\).
Theorem 6.1
[9] Let \(\Omega \) be a bounded Lipschitz domain in \(\mathbb {R}^{N}\). Assume that the coefficients of (6.1) satisfy \((A_1),\ldots , (A_4)\) with \(m=1\). Let T the corresponding mapping in the complementary system \((W_0^1L_\varphi (\Omega ), W_0^1E_\varphi (\Omega ), W^{-1}L_{\psi }(\Omega ), W^{-1}E_{\psi }(\Omega ))\). Let g(x, u) satisfy \((G_1)\) and \((G_2)\). Then there exists \(u \in D(T)\) such that \( g(x, u) \in L^1(\Omega ), \ g(x, u) u \in L^1(\Omega )\) and
for all \(v \in W^1_0L_\varphi (\Omega )\cap L^\infty (\Omega ).\)
