Abstract
Let Ω = ℝN or Ω be a bounded regular open set of ℝN and let γ(x, S): Ω × ℝ → ℝ be a continuous nondecreasing function in s, measurable in x, such that γ(x, 0) = 0 almost everywhere. We solve, for f ∈ L1(Ω), the problem (P): −Δu + γ(., u) = f in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω. (In fact, for this result, instead of assuming that γ is nondecreasing in s we need only that γ(x, s)s≧0.) We deduce an ‘almost’ necessary and sufficient condition on , in order that (P) has a solution. Roughly speaking, this condition is f = −ΔV + g, with g ∈ L1(Ω) and γ(., V) ∈ L1(Ω)Keywords
