In this paper we present new results related to the ones obtained in our previous papers on the singular semilinear elliptic problem u ≥ 0 in Ω, −div A(x)Du = F(x, u) in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω, where F(x, s) is a Carathéodory function which can take the value +∞ when s = 0. Three new topics are investigated. First, we present definitions which we prove to be equivalent to the definition given in our paper Giachetti, Martínez-Aparicio, Murat (2018). Second, we study the set {x ∈ Ω : u(x) = 0}, which is the set where the right-hand side of the equation could be singular in Ω, and we prove that actually, at almost every point x of this set, the right-hand side is non singular since one has F(x, 0) = 0. Third, we consider the case where a zeroth order term μu, with μ a nonnegative bounded Radon measure which also belongs to H−1(Ω), is added to the left-hand side of the singular problem considered above. We explain how the definition of solution given in Giachetti, Martínez-Aparicio, Murat (2018) has to be modified in such a case, and we explicitly give the a priori estimates that every such solution satisfies (these estimates are at the basis of our existence, stability and uniqueness results). Finally we give two counterexamples which prove that when a zeroth order term μu of the above type is added to the left-hand side of the problem, the strong maximum principle in general does not hold anymore.

Abstract

In this paper we present new results related to the ones obtained in our previous papers on the singular semilinear elliptic problem u ≥ 0 in Ω, −div A(x)Du = F(x, u) in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω, where F(x, s) is a Carathéodory function which can take the value +∞ when s = 0. Three new topics are investigated. First, we present definitions which we prove to be equivalent to the definition given in our paper Giachetti, Martínez-Aparicio, Murat (2018). Second, we study the set {x ∈ Ω : u(x) = 0}, which is the set where the right-hand side of the equation could be singular in Ω, and we prove that actually, at almost every point x of this set, the right-hand side is non singular since one has F(x, 0) = 0. Third, we consider the case where a zeroth order term μu, with μ a nonnegative bounded Radon measure which also belongs to H−1(Ω), is added to the left-hand side of the singular problem considered above. We explain how the definition of solution given in Giachetti, Martínez-Aparicio, Murat (2018) has to be modified in such a case, and we explicitly give the a priori estimates that every such solution satisfies (these estimates are at the basis of our existence, stability and uniqueness results). Finally we give two counterexamples which prove that when a zeroth order term μu of the above type is added to the left-hand side of the problem, the strong maximum principle in general does not hold anymore.
