Existence and multiplicity for elliptic problems with quadratic growth in the gradient

Analysis of PDEs 2012-10-25 v2

Abstract

We show that a class of divergence-form elliptic problems with quadratic growth in the gradient and non-coercive zero order terms are solvable, under essentially optimal hypotheses on the coefficients in the equation. In addition, we prove that the solutions are in general not unique. The case where the zero order term has the opposite sign was already intensively studied and the uniqueness is the rule.
