摘要

We study a very general model of nonvariational elliptic equations of p-Laplacian type. We prove the W (1,q) -estimates for each q > p regarding such a nonlinear elliptic equation in divergence form under the assumption that for each point and for each sufficiently small scale the nonlinearity is suitably close to a vector of the gradient in BMO space. In the same spirit our results can be easily extended to Orlicz spaces as well.
