Abstract

In this paper we consider a semilinear equation driven by an operator not in divergence form. Precisely, the principal part of the operator is in divergence form, but it has also a lower order term depending on Du. While the right-hand side of the equation satisfies superlinear and subcritical growth conditions at zero and at infinity. The problem has not a variational structure, but, despite that, we use variational techniques in order to prove an existence and regularity result for the equation.
