Abstract:

We prove the existence of solutions of nonlinear elliptic equations with first order terms having ``natural growth'' with respect to the gradient. The assumptions on the source terms lead to the existence of possibly unbounded solutions (though with exponential integrability). The domain $\Om$ is allowed to have infinite Lebesgue measure.
