Remarks on Nagumo's Condition

Abstract: For quasilinear elliptic equations it is commonly assumed that nonlinearity grows not faster than quadratically in the gradient of solution. This assumption is necessary in order to get an a priori bound on the gradient of solution, which is a part of most existence proofs. However, it appears that this condition is not essential for existence of solution, only different techniques of proof are needed in its absence.

Keywords: Existence of solutions; Nagumo's condition.

Classification (MSC2000): 34B15, 35J60
