Abstract: We study a basic linear elliptic equation on a lower dimensional rectifiable set $S$ in $mathbb{R}^N$ with the Neumann boundary data. Set $S$ is a support of a finite Borel measure $mu$. We will use the measure theoretic tools to interpret the equation and the Neumann boundary condition. For this purpose we recall the Sobolev-type space dependent on the measure $mu$. We establish existence and uniqueness of weak solutions provided that an appropriate source term is given.

Review text

The authors use the variational approach to study the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to a linear elliptic equation related to the problem of heat distribution in a conductor \(S\) in the ambient space \(\Omega\subset \mathbb R^N\). The conductor \(S\) is insulated at the boundary of \(\Omega\), the set \(\Omega\setminus S\) is neither conducting nor it contains any heat source, and the dimension of \(S\) is smaller than \(N\). Using the measure theoretic tools they follow the approach of [\textit{G. Bouchitté} et al., Calc. Var. Partial Differ. Equ. 5, No. 1, 37--54 (1997; Zbl 0934.49011]). Contrary to the previous approaches they do not assume a Poincaré-type inequality to hold globally on \(S\) and they consider the Neumann boundary condition.
