Regularity of renormalized solutions to nonlinear elliptic equations away from the support of measure data

Abstract:  We prove boundedness and continuity for solutions to the Dirichlet problem for the equation $-{\rm div}(a(x,\nabla u))=h(x,u)+\mu$, in $\Omega\subset\R^N$, where the left-hand side is a Leray-Lions operator from $W_0^{1,p} (\Omega)$ into $W^{-1,p'}(\Omega)$ with $1<p<N$, $h(x,s)$ is a Carathéodory function which grows like $|s|^{p-1}$ and $\mu$ is a finite Radon measure. We prove that renormalized solutions, though not globally bounded, are Hölder-continuous far from the support of $\mu$.
Keywords:  bounded solution; $p$-Laplacian; renormalized solution; measure data
