Abstract

We study the existence and regularity of solutions for the nonlinear elliptic problem

$$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{lll} -\text{ div }\>a(x,u,\nabla u)=f &{}\text{ in }&{} \varOmega ,\\ u=0 &{}\text{ on } &{}\partial \varOmega , \end{array}\right. \end{aligned}$$

where \(\varOmega \) is a bounded open set in \({\mathbf {R}}^N, (N\ge 2),\) a a Carathéodory function, and f in \(L^{m(\cdot )}(\varOmega ).\)
