Summary: We consider the Dirichlet problem for the quasilinear elliptic system \[ -\text{div }\sigma(x, u(x), Du(x))= f\quad\text{in }\Omega,\quad u(x)= 0\quad\text{on }\partial\Omega \] for a function \(u: \Omega\to \mathbb{R}^m\), where \(\Omega\) is a bounded open domain in \(\mathbb{R}^n\). For arbitrary right-hand side \(f\in W^{-1,p'}(\Omega)\) we prove existence of a weak solution under classical regularity, growth and coercivity conditions, but with only very mild monotonicity assumptions.
