Regularity of solutions to quasilinear infinitely degenerate second order equations

The main result of the paper is on the continuity of weak solutions of infinitely degenerate quasilinear second order equations. Namely, we show that every weak solution to a certain class of degenerate quasilinear equations is continuous. More precisely, we show that it is Hölder continuous with respect to a certain metric associated to the operator. One of the essential features of this metric is that the metric balls are non doubling with respect to Lebesgue measure. The proof of the continuity together with a recent result by Rios et al. completes the result on hypoellipticity of a class of second order quasilinear infinitely degenerate elliptic operators.
