## Nonlinear elliptic equations with right hand side measures.(English)Zbl 0812.35043

Let $$\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^ N$$ be a bounded open set, $$p\in (2- 1/n,N]$$, $$\alpha,\beta>0$$, $$h\in L^{p'} (\Omega)$$ and $$a: \Omega\times \mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R}^ N\to \mathbb{R}^ N$$ a Carathéodory function such that $$a(x,s,\xi)\geq \alpha| \xi|^ 2$$, $$a(x,s, \xi)\geq \beta[h(x)+ | s|^{p-1}+ |\xi |^{p-1}]$$ and $$[a(x,s, \xi)- a(x,s,\gamma)] (\xi-\gamma)>0$$ for all $$s\in\mathbb{R}$$, $$\xi,\gamma\in \mathbb{R}^ N$$ with $$\xi\neq\gamma$$ and for almost all $$x\in\Omega$$. The authors prove the following results about existence and regularity of solutions of the variational problem $\int_ \Omega a(x,u, Du)Dv dx= \int_ \Omega fv dx \quad \text{for all } v\in C_ 0^ \infty (\Omega), \quad a(x,u,Du)\in L^ 1(\Omega).$ If $$f$$ is a bounded Radon measure on $$\Omega$$ then there exists a solution $$u$$, and $$u\in W_ 0^{1,q} (\Omega)$$ for any $$q< \overline{q}:= N(p-1)/ (N-1)$$. Moreover, if $$| f|\log | f|\in L^ 1(\Omega)$$ (resp. if $$f\in L^ m(\Omega)$$ with $$1<m< Np/ (Np- N+p)$$) then $$u\in W^{1, \overline{q}} (\Omega)$$ (resp. $$u\in W^{1, (p-1) m^*} (\Omega)$$ with $$m^*:= m/(m- p)$$).
