Consider a bounded domain G C R (_N>1) with smooth boundary T . Let L be a uniformly elliptic linear differential operator. Let y and ß be two maximal monotone mappings in R. We prove that, when y ? 2 satisfies a certain growth condition, given f £ L (G ) there is u € H (G) such that Lu + y(u) 3 f a.e. on G, and -du/d v e ß(u\ ) a.e. on T, where du/civ is the conormal derivative associated with...
