We show that this measure is concentrated on a set of $\\sigma-$finite $n-1$ dimensional Hausdorff measure for $p>n$ and the same result holds for $p=n$ with an assumption on the boundary. We also construct an example of a domain in space for which the corresponding measure has Hausdorff dimension $\\leq n-1-\\delta$ for $p\\geq n$ for some $\\delta$ which depends on various constants including $p$. The first result generalizes the authors previous work when the PDE is the $p-$Laplacian and the second result generalizes the well known theorem of Wolff when $p=2$ and $n=2$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-09-23T17:21:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35J25", "35J70", "37F35", "28A78" ], "keywords": [ "quasilinear elliptic pde", "positive weak solution", "borel measure", "finiteness", "hausdorff dimension" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 33, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
