Abstract
In the present paper, a 2mth-order quasilinear divergence equation is considered under the condition that its coefficients satisfy the Carathéodory condition and the standard conditions of growth and coercivity in the Sobolev space W m,p(Ω), Ω ⊂ Rn, p > 1. It is proved that an arbitrary generalized (in the sense of distributions) solution u ∈ W m,p0 (Ω) of this equation is bounded if m ≥ 2, n = mp, and the right-hand side of this equation belongs to the Orlicz–Zygmund space L(log L)n−1(Ω).
