Summability of the Solutions of Nonlinear Elliptic Equations with Right Hand Side Measures

Lucio Boccardo, Thierry Gallouet

We prove a regularity result for weak solutions of nonlinear elliptic problems of the type

-\text{div}(a(x,\nabla u)) = \mu,\ \ u \in W^{1,1}_0(\Omega) − div ( a ( x , ∇ u ) ) = μ ,    u ∈ W 0 1 , 1 ( Ω )
using an approximation technique. Here
\mu μ
is a bounded Radon measure and the operator
A(u) = -\text{div}(a(x,\nabla u)) A ( u ) = − div ( a ( x , ∇ u ) )
is assumed to be coercive and monotone, acting between
W^{1,p}_0(\Omega) W 0 1 , p ( Ω )
and
W^{-1,p'}_0(\Omega) W 0 − 1 , p ′ ( Ω )
.
