Existence Results for a Perturbed Dirichlet Problem Without Sign Condition in Orlicz Spaces

  • Published:
Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

We deal with the existence result for nonlinear elliptic equations of the form Au + g(x, u,u) = f, where the term div (a(x, u, ∇u)) is a Leray–Lions operator from a subset of \( {W}_0^1{L}_M\left(\Omega \right) \) into its dual. The growth and coercivity conditions on the monotone vector field a are prescribed by an N-function M, which not necessarily satisfies a Δ2-condition. Therefore, we use Orlicz–Sobolev spaces that are not necessarily reflexive and assume that the nonlinearity g(x, u,u) is a Carathéodory function satisfying solely a growth condition without any sign condition. The right-hand side f belongs to \( {W}^{-1}{L}_{\overline{M}}\left(\Omega \right). \)
