Title: Strongly nonlinear degenerated elliptic unilateral problems via convergence of truncations Authors: Youssef Akdim (Faculte des Sciences Dhar-Mahraz, Fes, Maroc) Elhoussine Azroul (Faculte des Sciences Dhar-Mahraz, Fes, Maroc) Abdelmoujib Benkirane (Faculte des Sciences Dhar-Mahraz, Fes, Maroc) Abstract: We prove an existence theorem for a strongly nonlinear degenerated elliptic inequalities involving nonlinear operators of the form $Au+g(x,u,\nabla u)$. Here $A$ is a Leray-Lions operator, $g(x,s,\xi)$ is a lower order term satisfying some natural growth with respect to $|\nabla u|$. There is no growth restrictions with respect to $|u|$, only a sign condition. Under the assumption that the second term belongs to $W^{-1,p'}(\Omega,w^*)$, we obtain the main result via strong convergence of truncations. Published December 28, 2002.
