Finite energy solutions for nonlinear elliptic equations with competing gradient, singular and L1 terms.

In this paper we deal with the following boundary value problem { − Δ p u + g (u) | ∇ u | p = h (u) f in Ω, u ≥ 0 in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω, in a domain Ω ⊂ R N (N ≥ 2) , where 1 ≤ p < N , g is a positive and continuous function on [ 0 , ∞) , and h is a continuous function on [ 0 , ∞) (possibly blowing up at the origin). We show how the presence of regularizing terms h and g allows to prove existence of finite energy solutions for nonnegative data f only belonging to L 1 (Ω). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
