Abstract

We investigate nonlinear elliptic Dirichlet problems whose growth is driven by a general anisotropic N-function, which is not necessarily of power-type and need not satisfy the $$\Delta _2$$ nor the $$\nabla _2$$-condition. Fully anisotropic, non-reflexive Orlicz–Sobolev spaces provide a natural functional framework associated with these problems. Minimal integrability assumptions are detected on the datum on the right-hand side of the equation ensuring existence and uniqueness of weak solutions. When merely integrable, or even measure, data are allowed, existence of suitably further generalized solutions—in the approximable sense—is established. Their maximal regularity in Marcinkiewicz-type spaces is exhibited as well. Uniqueness of approximable solutions is also proved in case of $$L^1$$-data.
