Reduced limit for semilinear boundary value problems with measure data

Abstract: We study boundary value problems for semilinear elliptic equations of the form

- D e l t a u + g c i r c u = m u

in a smooth bounded domain

O m e g a s u b s e t R^{N}

. Let

m u_{n}

and

a u_{n}

be sequences of measure in

O m e g a

and

p a r t i a l O m e g a

respectively. Assume that there exists a solution

u_{n}

of the equation with

m u = m u_{n}

subject to boundary data

a u_{n}

. Further assume that the sequences of measures converge in a weak sense to

m u

and

a u

respectively and

u_{n}

converges to

u

in

L^{1} (O m e g a)

. In general

u

is not a solution of the boundary value problem with data

(m u, a u)

. However there exist measures

(m u^{*}, a u^{*})

such that

u

satisfies the equation with

m u

replaced by

m u^{*}

and with

u = a u^{*}

on the boundary. The pair

(m u^{*}, a u^{*})

is called the reduced limit of the sequence

(m u_{n}, a u_{n})

. We investigate the relation between the weak limit and the reduced limit and the dependence of the latter on the sequence.
