A new concept of reduced measure for nonlinear elliptic equations
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 339 (2004) no. 3, pp. 169-174.

We study the existence of solutions of the nonlinear problem

Δu+g(u)=μinΩ,u=0onΩ,(i)
where μ is a Radon measure and g:RR is a nondecreasing continuous function with g(t)=0, t0. Given g, Eq. (i) need not have a solution for every measure μ, and we say that μ is a good measure if (i) admits a solution. We show that for every μ there exists a largest good measure μ*μ. This reduced measure μ* has a number of remarkable properties.

On étudie l'existence de solutions du problème non linéaire

Δu+g(u)=μinΩ,u=0onΩ,(ii)
μ est une mesure de Radon et g est une fonction croissante et continue avec g(t)=0, t0. Étant donné g, l'Éq. (ii) n'admet pas nécessairement de solution pour toute mesure μ. On dit que μ est une bonne mesure (relative à g) si (ii) admet une solution. On démontre que pour toute mesure μ, il existe une plus grande bonne mesure μ*μ. La mesure réduite μ* a plusieurs propriétés remarquables.
