Abstract: We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of weak solutions to the model equation -Delta_p u=sigma , u^q quad ext{on} , , , R^n, in the case 0<q<p1, where sigmage0 is an arbitrary locally integrable function, or measure, and Deltapu=mdiv(ablau|ablau|p2) is the p-Laplacian. Sharp global pointwise estimates and regularity properties of solutions are obtained as well. As a consequence, we characterize the solvability of the equation -Delta_p v , = {b} , frac {| abla v|^{p}}{v} + sigma quad ext{on} , , , R^n, where b>0. These results are new even in the classical case p=2. Our approach is based on the use of special nonlinear potentials of Wolff type adapted for "sublinear" problems, and related integral inequalities. It allows us to treat simultaneously several problems of this type, such as equations with general quasilinear operators extdiv,mathcalA(x,ablau), fractional Laplacians (Delta)alpha, or fully nonlinear k-Hessian operators.
