  • In this paper we prove a priori estimates for positive solutions of elliptic equations of the $ p $-Laplacian type on arbitrary domains of $ \mathbb {R}^N $, when a nonlinearity depending on the gradient is considered. Also the case of systems with very general nonlinearities is considered. Our main theorems extend previous results by Polacik, Quitter and Souplet in [26] in which either the case $ p = 2 $ with a nonlinearity depending on the gradient or the $ p $-Laplacian case with a nonlinearity not depending on the gradient is treated. The technique is based on the use of a method developed in [26] whose main tools are rescaling arguments combined with a key "doubling" property, which is different from the celebrated blow up technique due to Gidas and Spruck in [16]. A discussion on the sharpness of the main result in the scalar case is presented.
