Solutions (Dirichlet boundary condition)

Weak solution : is a couple (u, z) ∈ W 1,p (Ω) × L1(Ω) such that z ∈ β(u), LN − a.e. in Ω, and −∇ · a(x, ∇u) = µ − z, in D′(Ω). In general, if the data are enough regular, weak solutions does not exist. Renormalized solution : is a couple of measurable function (u, z) such that z ∈ L1(Ω), Tku ∈ W 1,p (Ω), for any k 0, z ∈ β(u) a.e. in Ω and −∇ · h(u)a(x, Du) + h(u)z = h(u)µ − h′(u) a(x, ∇u) · ∇u, in D′(Ω), for any h ∈ Cc(R), and lim

Remarks

In the case of Neumann boundary condition one needs to take the test function ξ ∈ W1,p(Ω). And, for renormalized/entropic solution, one needs to work in T 1,p

tr (Ω).

In many cases, an enropic/renormalized solution is a solution in the sense of distribution : (u, z) ∈ W 1,1 (Ω) × L1(Ω) such that z ∈ β(u), LN − a.e. in Ω, and −∇ · a(x, ∇u) = µ − z, in D′(Ω). In the case where a(x, ξ) = ξ, there is an equivalence between the entropic solution and the solution in the sense of distribution. In general, a solution in the sense of distribution is not unique. In the case where a(x, ξ) = ξ, a solution in the sense of distribution is unique. A weak solution is an enropic/renormalized solution. If (u, w) is an enropic/renormalized solution and u ∈ L∞(Ω), then (u, z) is a weak solution.

Existence and uniqueness result

µ ∈ W −1,p′(Ω) : (P) is well posed in the sense of weak solution. µ ∈ L1(Ω) : (P) is well posed in the sense of renormalized solution. µ ∈ Mb(Ω) : (P) is well posed in the sense of renormalized solution if

D(β) = R µ is diffusive.

Recall that, a Radon measure µ is said to be diffuse with respect to the capacity W 1,p (Ω) (p−capacity for short) if µ(E) = 0 for every set E such that capp(E, Ω) = 0. The p−capacity of every subset E with respect to Ω is defined as : capp(E, Ω) = inf

Good measure

A ”good measure” is a Radon measure µ such that (P) has a weak solution. The ”reduced measure” denoted by µ∗ associated with µ is the right measure that we can associate with µ such that (P) with µ replaced by µ∗ has a solution. Use a natural approximation scheme (keep µ fixed and approximate β or keep β fixed and approximate µ), pass to the limit in the equation and characterize the right part of µ for which the problem is well posed. If D(β) = R, then any diffuse Radon measure is a good measure. There exists β, such that D(β) = 0, for which any diffuse Radon measure is necessary a good measure (L. Dupaigne, A. Ponce and A. Porretta).
