Concerning weak solutions in \(W^ 1_{\alpha,loc} (1<\alpha<\infty)\) of elliptic equations in divergence form \(\hbox{div} A(x,\nabla u)=B(x,\nabla u)\) in a certain domain \(\Omega\) in \(\mathbb{R}^ n\), where \(A:\mathbb{R}^ n\times\mathbb{R}^ n\to\mathbb{R}^ n\) and \(B:\mathbb{R}^ n\times\mathbb{R}^ n\to\mathbb{R}\) satisfy \(| A(x,\xi)|\leq a|\xi|^{\alpha-1}\), \(| B(x,\xi)|\leq b|\xi|^{\alpha-1}\) and \(\xi\cdot A(x,\xi)\geq|\xi|^ \alpha\) for a.e. \(x\in\Omega\) and all \(\xi\in\mathbb{R}^ n\) with positive constants \(a\) and \(b\), the following results are obtained which can be considered as a generalized Hardy-Littlewood theorem. If two weak solutions have gradients whose \(L^ \alpha\)-norms are locally comparable, then their weighted \(L^ p\)-norms and Lipschitz norms are globally comparable. Further, a weak solution is globally \(\hbox{Lip}_ \beta\) (resp. in BMO) if and only if the growth of local \(L^ \alpha\)-average of its gradient is dominated by the distance to the boundary to the power \(\beta-1\) (resp. \(-1\)).
