Superlinear equations, potential theory and weighted norm inequalities (Q2707693)

The author gives a good survey of some recent results on the solvability of certain superlinear differential and integral equations. He studies a connection between the existence of positive solutions to certain superlinear integral equations and weighted norm inequalities. He considers a number of examples which can be reduced to this problem. In particular, he obtains explicit criteria for the solvability of the Dirichlet problem \(-\Delta u=v u^q +w\), \(u \geq 0\) on \(\Omega \), \(u=0\) on \(\partial \Omega \), where \(\Omega \) is a regular domain in \({\mathbb R}^n\) and \(q>1\), where \(v\) and \(w\) are arbitrary positive measurable functions (or even measures) on \(\Omega \). A detailed proof of the main results is given for dyadic operators.
