We prove existence and uniqueness of entropy solutions for the Neumann problem for the quasilinear elliptic equation u − div a(u, Du) = v, where v ∈ L 1 , a(z, ξ) = ∇ ξ f (z, ξ), and f is a convex function of ξ with linear growth as ξ → ∞, satisfying other additional assumptions. In particular, this class includes the case where f (z, ξ) = ϕ(z)ψ(ξ ), ϕ > 0, ψ being a convex function with linear growth as ξ → ∞. In the second part of this work, using Crandall-Ligget's iteration scheme, this
