Abstract.   We are interested in the regularity of positive, spherically symmetric solutions of a class of quasilinear elliptic equations involving the p-Laplace operator, with an arbitrary positive growth rate e0 on the gradient on the right-hand side. We study the regularity of a class of strong and weak solutions at the origin. Furthermore, we find some conditions under which strong solutions are classical.
