We establish the continuity of bounded solutions to the anisotropic elliptic equation −i=1∑N(∣uxi∣pi−2uxi)xi=f(x),x∈Ω,f(x)∈L1(Ω) under the conditions 1⩽i⩽Nminpi>1,i=1∑Npi1=1 and ρ→0limx∈Ωsup0∫ρ(Br(x)∫∣f(y)∣dy)N−11rdr=0. In the standard case p1=...=pN=N, these conditions recover the known results for the N-Laplacian.
