On a Class of Nonlinear Elliptic Equations with General Growth in the Gradient.

In this paper, we prove an existence and uniqueness result for a class of Dirichlet boundary value problems whose model is − Δ p u = β | ∇ u | q + c | u | p − 2 u + f in   Ω , u = 0 on   ∂ Ω , where Ω is an open bounded subset of R N , N ≥ 2 , 1 < p < N , Δ p u is the so-called p-Laplace operator, and p − 1 < q < p . We assume that β is a positive constant, c and f are measurable functions belonging to suitable Lorentz spaces. Our approach is based on Schauder fixed point theorem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
