Abstract

In this paper, we shall be concerned with the existence of renormalized solution of the following problem,

$$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{l} -\text {div}\Big (a(x,u,\nabla u)\Big )-\text {div}(\Phi (x,u))= f \ \ \mathrm{in}\ \Omega ,\\ u=0 \text { on } \partial \Omega , \end{array} \right. \end{aligned}$$

with the second term f belongs to \(L^1(\Omega )\). The growth and the coercivity conditions on the monotone vector field a are prescribed by a N-function M. We assume any restriction on M, therefore we work with Orlicz-Sobolev spaces which are not necessarily reflexive. The lower order term \(\Phi \) is a Carathéodory function which is not coercive.
