Abstract

We prove the existence of solutions for a quasilinear elliptic system

$$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\text {div}\,\sigma (x,u,Du)&{}=f(x,u,Du)\quad \text {in}\;\varOmega ,\\ u&{}=0\quad \text {on}\;\partial \varOmega . \end{array} \right. \end{aligned}$$

The results are obtained in Orlicz–Sobolev spaces by means of the Young measures.
