Existence and regularity results for quasilinear elliptic equations driven by $(p, q)$-Laplacian and with gradient dependence are presented. A location principle for nodal (i.e., sign-changing) solutions is obtained by means of constant-sign solutions whose existence is also derived. Criteria for the existence of extremal solutions are finally established.

Keywords: Quasilinear elliptic equations, (p, q)-Laplacian, gradient dependence, nodal solutions, constant-sign solutions, location, sub-supersolutions, extremal solutions.
