Our results include a characterization -in terms of a natural capacity- of a (conditional) removability property, a characterization of moderate solutions and of their boundary trace and a property relating arbitrary positive solutions to moderate solutions. The proofs combine techniques of non-linear p.d.e.\\ with potential theoretic methods with respect to linear Schr\\\"odinger equations. A general result describing the measures that are diffuse with respect to certain capacities is also established and used. The appendix by the first author provides classes of functions $g$ such that the nonnegative solutions of $ \\Delta u-g(.,u)=0$ has some \"good\" properties which appear in the paper.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-09-11T12:50:05.000Z", "comment": "39 pages including an Appendix of 10 pages by the first author", "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v2", "updated": "2015-02-15T12:20:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "31Cxx", "35H99" ], "keywords": [ "semilinear equations", "schrödinger equations", "moderate solutions", "absorption", "nonlinear elliptic equation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 41, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1309.2810A" } } }
