Quasilinear equations with source terms on Carnot groups (Q2855941)

The authors consider the initial data problem \(-\triangle_{G,p}u= u^{q}+w\) in \(\Omega\) and \(u=0\) on \(\partial\Omega\) where \(\Omega\) is a bounded open subset of a Carnot group \(G\), \(w\) is a nonnegative finite measure on \(\Omega\) and \(\triangle_{G,p}\) is the \(p\)-Laplacian, \(q>p-1>0\). They obtain necessary and sufficient conditions on \(w\) for the existence of solutions (they also define what solution means) of the problem. They also give a complete characterization of removable singularities for the homogeneous equation. The extended problem (with \(\Omega=G\)) is also considered, and a Liouville type theorem is obtained.
