We consider, for a bounded open domain Ω in
Rn and a function
u : Ω →
Rm, the quasilinear elliptic system:

(1). We generalize the system (
QES)
(f,g) in considering a right hand side depending on the jacobian matrix
Du. Here, the star in (
QES)
(f,g) indicates that
f may depend on
Du. In the right hand side,
v belongs to the dual space
W-1,P’(Ω,
ω*,
Rm),

,
f and
g satisfy some standard continuity and growth conditions. We prove existence of a regularity, growth and coercivity conditions for
σ, but with only very mild monotonicity assumptions.
