AbstractIn this paper, we prove the existence of entropy solutions for anisotropic elliptic unilateral problem associated to the equations of the form-∑i=1N∂iai(x,u,∇u)-∑i=1N∂iφi(u)=f,$$ - \sum\limits_{i = 1}^N {{\partial _i}{a_i}(x,u,\nabla u) - } \sum\limits_{i = 1}^N {{\partial _i}{\phi _i}(u) = f,} $$where the right hand sidefbelongs toL1(Ω). The operator-∑i=1N∂iai(x,u,∇u)$- \sum\nolimits_{i = 1}^N {{\partial _i}{a_i}\left( {x,u,\nabla u} \right)} $is a Leray-Lions anisotropic operator andϕi∈C0(ℝ,ℝ).
