Klainerman, eds.), Annals of Mathematics Studies, 163 (2007). We prove that for any bounded Borel measure $\\mu$ on a smooth bounded domain $D\\subset\\mathbb R^d$ and non-increasing (with respect to the second variable) non-positive continuous function $f$ on $D\\times\\mathbb R$ the sequence of solutions to the semi-linear equation (P): $-\\Delta u=f(\\cdot,u)+\\rho_n\\ast\\mu$ ($\\rho_n$ is a mollifier) that is subject to homogeneous Dirichlet condition, converges to the function that solves (P) with $\\rho_n\\ast\\mu$ replaced by the reduced measure $\\mu^*$ (metric projection onto the space of good measures). We also provide a corresponding version of this result without non-positivity assumption on $f$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-10-11T12:50:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "semilinear elliptic equations", "measure data", "generalized solutions", "nonlinear elliptic equations", "non-positivity assumption" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
