Regularity of a class of degenerate elliptic equations
Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze, Série 5, Tome 10 (2011) no. 3, pp. 645-667.

In the present paper we establish the ${W}^{1,p}$ type estimates for the weak solutions of a class of degenerate elliptic equations. The optimal estimates are obtained by introducing the intrinsic metric that is associated with the geometry of the operator and then using the compactness method.
