Regularity for a class of degenerate elliptic equations with discontinuous coefficients under natural growth

In this paper we are concerned with the regularity in Morrey spaces for weak solutions of a class of degenerate elliptic equations when the coefficient matrices satisfy certain VMO conditions in x uniformly with respect to u and the lower order terms satisfy a natural growth condition. Interior Hölder continuity of weak solutions is also derived with the improvement of the given data regularities.
