Abstract: | We prove the existence of an entropy solution for a class of nonlinear anisotropic elliptic unilateral problem associated to the following equation $$\begin{aligned} -\sum _{i=1}^{N} \partial _i a_i(x,u, \nabla u) -\sum _{i=1}^{N}\partial _{i}\phi _{i}( u)=\mu , \end{aligned}$$where the right hand side $$\mu $$ belongs to $$L^{1}(\Omega )+ W^{-1, \vec {p'}}(\Omega )$$. The operator $$-\sum _{i=1}^{N} \partial _i a_i(x,u, \nabla u) $$ is a Leray–Lions anisotropic operator and $$\phi _{i} \in C^{0}({\mathbb {R}}, {\mathbb {R}})$$. |
