This paper treats quasilinear elliptic equations indivergence form whose inhomogeneous term is a signed measure. Wefirst prove the existence and continuity of generalized solutions tothe Dirichlet problem. The main result of this paper is a weakconvergence result, extending previous work of the authors forsubharmonic functions and non-negative measures. We also prove auniqueness result for uniformly elliptic operators and for operatorsof $p$-Laplacian type.
Keywords: Elliptic equation, existence, weak convergence.
