Abstract

We prove the uniform boundedness of all solutions for a general class of Dirichlet anisotropic elliptic problems of the form Δpu+Φ0(u,u)=Ψ(u,u)+f-\Delta_{\overrightarrow{p}}u+\Phi_0(u,\nabla u)=\Psi(u,\nabla u) +f on a bounded open subset ΩRN\Omega\subset \mathbb R^N (N2)(N\geq 2), where Δpu=j=1Nj(jupj2ju) \Delta_{\overrightarrow{p}}u=\sum_{j=1}^N \partial_j (|\partial_j u|^{p_j-2}\partial_j u) and Φ0(u,u)=(a0+j=1Najjupj)um2u\Phi_0(u,\nabla u)=\left(\mathfrak{a}_0+\sum_{j=1}^N \mathfrak{a}_j |\partial_j u|^{p_j}\right)|u|^{m-2}u, with a0>0\mathfrak{a}_0>0, m,pj>1m,p_j>1, aj0\mathfrak{a}_j\geq 0 for 1jN1\leq j\leq N and N/p=k=1N(1/pk)>1N/p=\sum_{k=1}^N (1/p_k)>1. We assume that fLr(Ω)f \in L^r(\Omega) with r>N/pr>N/p. The feature of this study is the inclusion of a possibly singular gradient-dependent term Ψ(u,u)=j=1Nuθj2ujuqj\Psi(u,\nabla u)=\sum_{j=1}^N |u|^{\theta_j-2}u\, |\partial_j u|^{q_j}, where θj>0\theta_j>0 and 0qj<pj0\leq q_j<p_j for 1jN1\leq j\leq N. The existence of such weak solutions is contained in a recent paper by the authors.
