In this article, we study a class of convective diffusive elliptic problem with Dirichlet boundary condition and measure data in variable exponent spaces. We begin by introducing an approximate problem via a truncation approach and Yosida’s regularization. Then, we apply the technique of maximal monotone operators in Banach spaces to obtain a sequence of approximate solutions. Finally, we pass to the limit and prove that this sequence of solutions converges to at least one weak or entropy solution of the original problem. Furthermore, under some additional assumptions on the convective diffusive term, we prove the uniqueness of the entropy solution.
