Using the compactness of an imbedding for weighted Sobolev spaces (that is, a Hardy-type inequality), it is shown how the assumption of monotonicity can be weakened still guaranteeing the pseudo-monotonicity of certain nonlinear degenerated or singular elliptic differential operators. The result extends analogous assertions for elliptic operators.
