The problem of Dirichlet for anisotropic quasilinear degenerate elliptic equations (Q878538)

The authors study the following quasilinear degenerate elliptic equation: \[ \begin{gathered} -\sum^n_{i=1} \mu_i(|u_{x_i}|^p u_{x_i})_{x_i}= c(x) g(u)+ f(x)\quad\text{in }\Omega,\\ u= 0\quad \text{on }\partial\Omega,\end{gathered}\tag{1} \] where \(\Omega\) is a bounded domain and the constants \(\mu_i> 0\), \(p_i\geq 0\). The goal of the authors is to obtain sufficient conditions for the solvability of (1). To this end new a priori estimates for the solutions as well as for the gradient of solutions are obtained.
