Title: Dirichlet problem for quasi-linear elliptic equations Authors: Azeddine Baalal (Faculte des Sciences Ain Chock, Maroc) Nedra BelHaj Rhouma (Inst. Prep. aux Etudes d'Ing. de Tunis, Tunisie) Abstract: We study the Dirichlet Problem associated to the quasilinear elliptic problem $$ -\sum_{i=1}^{n}\frac{\partial }{\partial x_i}\mathcal{A}_i(x,u(x), \nabla u(x))+\mathcal{B}(x,u(x),\nabla u(x))=0. $$ Then we define a potential theory related to this problem and we show that the sheaf of continuous solutions satisfies the Bauer axiomatic theory.
