The Dirichlet and single obstacle problems are included as special cases. We obtain Adams' criterion for the solubility of the single obstacle problem and establish connections with fine potential theory. We also study when the minimal p-weak upper gradient of a function remains minimal when restricted to a nonopen subset. Most of the results are new for open E (apart from those which are trivial in this case) and also on R^n.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-08-24T07:10:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "31E05", "31C40", "31C45", "35D30", "35J20", "35J25", "35J60", "47J20", "49J40", "49J52", "49Q20", "58J05", "58J32" ], "keywords": [ "arbitrary nonopen sets", "dirichlet problems", "fine topology", "single obstacle problem", "quite general metric spaces" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1208.4913B" } } }
