### An Obstacle Problem for Noncoercive Operators

#### Abstract

We study the obstacle problem for second order nonlinear equations whose model appears in the stationary diffusion-convection problem. We assume that the growth coefficient of the convection term lies in the Marcinkiewicz space $\text{weak}$-${L}^{N}$.
