Capacity theory for monotone operators

Abstract: If

A u = - d i v (a (x, D u))

is a monotone operator defined on the Sobolev space

W^{1, p} (R^{n})

,

1 < p < + i n f t y

, with

a (x, 0) = 0

for a.e.

x i n R^{n}

, the capacity

C_{A} (E, F)

relative to

A

can be defined for every pair

(E, F)

of bounded sets in

R^{n}

with

E s u b s e t F

. We prove that

C_{A} (E, F)

is increasing and countably subadditive with respect to

E

and decreasing with respect to

F

. Moreover we investigate the continuity properties of

C_{A} (E, F)

with respect to

E

and

F

.
