On a question of H. Brezis, M. Marcus and A. C. Ponce (Q2490962)

The author investigates a question raised in a recent paper of \textit{H. Brezis, M. Marcus} and \textit{A. C. Ponce} [Ann. Math. (2) (to appear)]. The following result is proved: Let \(\mu\) be a singular continuous Radon measure in the open set \(U\) of \(\mathbb R^d\). There is no continuous linear map \(f \rightarrow (u_f,g_f)\) from \(L^1(\mu)\) to \(H^1(U) \times L^1(U)\) such that \(f\mu = \Delta u_f + g_f\) in the sense of distributions.
