For the homogeneous Dirichlet problem involving a system of equations driven by $(p,q)$-Laplacian operators and general gradient dependence we prove the existence of solutions in the ordered rectangle determined by a subsolution-supersolution. This extends the preceding results based on the method of subsolution-supersolution for systems of elliptic equations. Positive and negative solutions are obtained.

Keywords: Dirichlet problem, system of elliptic equations, (p, q)-Laplacian, subsolution-supersolution and gradient dependence.
