Abstract
We prove the existence of weak solutions of higher order
degenerated quasilinear elliptic equations.
The main tools are the degree theory for generalized monotone mappings
and imbedding theorems between weighted
Sobolev spaces. The straightforward use of these imbeddings allows
us to consider more general assumptions than
those in our preceding paper [3].
