Gradient estimates of general nonlinear singular elliptic equations with measure data (Q6049918)

The aim of this paper is to give precise estimates for renormalized solutions of \begin{align*} -\operatorname{div} A(x,u,\nabla u)&=\mu &&\text{in }\Omega,\\ u&=0 &&\text{on }\partial\Omega, \end{align*} where \(\mu\) is a bounded Radon measure and \(\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N\) a Reifenberg flat domain. The vector field \(A\) satisfies standard regularity and growth estimates, the model of which is the \(p\)-Laplace operator in the range \(1<p<2-\frac 1N\). Using an adapted Calderon-Zygmund method, the authors give an \textit{a priori} estimate of the gradient of \(u\) is a weighted Lorentz space \(L^{\gamma,s}_\omega(\Omega)\) with respect to the norm of the maximal function \(M^{\frac{1}{p-1}}_1(\mu)\) in the same weighted Lorentz space \(L^{\gamma,s}_\omega(\Omega)\). Here \[ M_1(\mu)(x)=\sup_{r>0}\frac{|\mu(B_r(x))|}{r^{N-1}}. \] The involved weight \(\omega\) is a Muckenhoupt weight belonging to some class \(M_q\), where \(q\) depends on the exponents \(\gamma\) and \(s\) of the Lorentz space. Extensions to more general Lorentz spaces are also given. In a final section, the authors provide an \textit{a priori} estimates of \(\nabla u\) in a weighted Orlicz space \(L^{\Phi}_\omega\) with respect to an estimate of \(M_1(\mu)\) in the same weighted Orlicz space. Here \(\omega\) belongs to the Muckenhoupt class \(M_{\infty}\), and \(\Phi\) is a convex function satisfying the \(\Delta_2\) and \(\nabla _2\) properties (which make it somewhat similar to a power function). The article is very detailed and clearly written which is a tour de force in view of all the techniques introduced here.
