Using the harmonic measure of $\\Gw$, we define a trace in the class of outer regular Borel measures. We amphasize the case where $g(u)=|u|^{q-1}u$, $q>1$. When $\\Gw$ is (locally) a cone with vertex $y$, we prove sharp results of removability and characterization of singular behavior. In the general case, assuming that $\\Gw$ possesses a tangent cone at every boundary point and $q$ is subcritical, we prove an existence and uniqueness result for positive solutions with arbitrary boundary trace. We obtain sharp results involving Besov spaces with negative index on k-dimensional edges and apply our results to the characterization of removable sets and good measures on the boundary of a polyhedron.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2009-07-16T17:30:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "31A15", "31C15", "32A55", "35J60" ], "keywords": [ "semilinear elliptic equations", "lipschitz domain", "positive solutions", "sharp results", "outer regular borel measures" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 120, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0907.1006M" } } }
