PreprintGradient estimates for nonlinear elliptic equations with a gradient-dependent nonlinearityJoshua Ching and Florica C. CîrsteaAbstractIn this paper, we obtain gradient estimates of the positive solutions to weighted \(p\)-Laplacian type equations with a gradient-dependent nonlinearity without any upper bound restriction on the power of the gradient. Our proof of the gradient estimates is based on a two-step process relying on a modified version of the Bernstein's method. As a by-product, we extend the range of applicability of the Liouville-type results known for our problem. Keywords: Liouville-type result, isolated singularities, quasilinear elliptic equation.AMS Subject Classification: Primary 35J60; secondary 35B53.
