AbstractWe characterize the existence of solutions to the quasilinear Riccati-type equation\left\{\begin{aligned} \displaystyle-\operatorname{div}\mathcal{A}(x,\nabla u)%
&\displaystyle=|\nabla u|^{q}+\sigma&&\displaystyle\phantom{}\text{in }\Omega,%
\\
\displaystyle u&\displaystyle=0&&\displaystyle\phantom{}\text{on }\partial%
\Omega,\end{aligned}\right.with a distributional or measure datum σ. Here {\operatorname{div}\mathcal{A}(x,\nabla u)} is a quasilinear elliptic operator modeled after
the p-Laplacian ({p>1}), and Ω is a bounded domain whose boundary is sufficiently flat (in the sense of Reifenberg). For distributional data, we assume that {p>1} and {q>p}. For measure data, we assume that they are compactly supported in Ω, {p>\frac{3n-2}{2n-1}}, and q is in the sub-linear range {p-1<q<1}. We also assume more regularity conditions on {\mathcal{A}} and on
{\partial\Omega\Omega} in this case.
