Abstract:
We establish for L1-$data, existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence results to the obstacle problem for nonlinear elliptic equations with variable exponent, where the variable exponent is supposed only measurable. Other classical results about stability properties of the corresponding coincidence set and the Lewy-Stampacchia inequalities are presented.
Entropy solutions to the obstacle problem for nonlinear elliptic problems with variable exponent and L1-data
