Local and global behaviour of solutions to nonlinear equations with natural growth terms (Q2276299)

The authors study the Dirichlet problem \[ \begin{cases} -\nabla\cdot (\nabla u|\nabla u|^{p-2})=\sigma |u|^{p-2}u+\omega & \text{ in } \Omega\subseteq \mathbb R^n\cr u=0 & \text{ on } \partial\Omega, \end{cases} \] where \(\sigma\) and \(\omega\) are nonnegative Borel measures. The main estimates concern optimal pointwise bounds of solutions in terms of two local Wolff's potentials, under minimal regularity assumed on \(\sigma\) and \(\omega.\) Analogous results for equations modeled by the \(k\)-Hessian \[ \begin{cases} F_k(-u)=\sigma u^k +\omega & \text{ in } \mathbb R^n,\cr \inf_{x\in \mathbb R^n} u(x)=0 \end{cases} \] are discussed.
