We consider a general quasilinear model problem of second order in divergence form on a Lipschitz domain, where the latter is divided arbitrarily in finitely many Lipschitz subdomains. Regarding this decomposition, several transmission problems, being equivalent to the model problem in a weak sense, are constructed. Thereby, no regularity assumption on the solution beyond H 1 is necessary. Furthermore, we do not need additional smoothness conditions on the boundaries of the subdomains and decompositions with crosspoints are admissible.
