This equation need not have a solution for every measure $\\mu$, and we say that $\\mu$ is a good measure if the Dirichlet problem above admits a solution. We show that for every $\\mu$ there exists a largest good measure $\\mu^* \\leq \\mu$. This reduced measure has a number of remarkable properties.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-12-23T09:40:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35J15", "35J61", "31B15", "31B35" ], "keywords": [ "nonlinear elliptic equations", "radon measure", "nonlinear problem", "dirichlet problem" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study", "journal": "Ann.
