On Calderón-Zygmund theory for \(p\)- and \({\mathcal{A}}\)-superharmonic functions (Q1937816)

In this work, the quasilinear equation \[ \Delta_p u=\text{div}\, F \quad \text{in}\,\, {\mathcal D'}({I\!\!R}^n)\tag{1} \] is considered, where \(\Delta_p\) is the \(p\)-Laplacian and \(F\in L^{\frac{q}{p-1}}({I\!\!R}^n,{I\!\!R}^n)\) with \(2-\frac{1}{n}<p<\infty.\) The author proves that if \(q>p-1\), then for every \(p\)-superharmonic solution \(u\) in \({I\!\!R}^n\) of (1) such that \(\displaystyle\lim_{R\rightarrow \infty}\int_{B(x, R)}|\nabla u|\,dy=0\), one has the estimate \[ \int_{{I\!\!R}^n}|\nabla u|^q\,dx\leq C \int_{{I\!\!R}^n}|F|^\frac{p}{q-1}\,dx, \tag{2} \] where \(C=C(n, p, q).\) The author extends the estimate (2), and establishes \(L^q\) boundedness, with \(q>\max\{1, p-1\},\) to \({\mathcal A}\)-superharmonic solutions to the equation \[ {\mathcal A}(x, \nabla u)=\text{div}\, F \quad \text{in}\,\, {\mathcal D'}({I\!\!R}^n), \] for a suitable Carathéodory nonlinearity \( {\mathcal A}: {I\!\!R}^n\times {I\!\!R}^n\rightarrow {I\!\!R}^n\) satisfying growth, ellipticity and \(\delta\)-BMO conditions.
