The Dirichlet problem for sublinear elliptic equations with source (Q2046112)

The Dirichlet problem for \(-\Delta u =\mu u^q + \nu\) with prescribed nonnegative continuous boundary data in a general domain is considered, where \(\mu\) and \(\nu\) are nonnegative Radon measures and \(0<q<1\). A necessary and sufficient condition is derived for the existence of a positive continuous solution. Two-sided pointwise estimates of Brezis-Kamin-type for positive bounded solutions and the uniqueness of positive continuous \(L^q\) solutions are also established.
