A Priori Estimates and Existence of Positive Solutions to Quasilinear Elliptic Equations in General Form

Abstract

In this paper we prove the existence of a positive solution to the following superlinear elliptic Dirichlet problem, - Σ^n_{i,j=1}aij(x, u, Du)D_{ij}u = f(x, u, Du) in Ω, \quad u = 0 on ∂Ω where f satisfies certain growth conditions.
