Quasilinear elliptic equations with natural growth and quasilinear elliptic equations with singular drift

We prove an existence result for a quasilinear elliptic equation satisfying natural growth conditions. As a consequence, we deduce an existence result for a quasilinear elliptic equation containing a singular drift. A key tool, in the proof, is the study of an auxiliary variational inequality playing the role of “natural constraint”
