Abstract

In this paper, we establish pointwise estimates for supersolutions of quasilinear elliptic equations with structural conditions involving a generalized Orlicz growth in terms of a Wolff type potential. As a consequence, under an extra assumption, we obtain that the supersolutions satisfy a Harnack inequality and local Hölder continuity.
