We prove boundedness and continuity for solutions to the Dirichlet problem for the equation where the left-hand side is a Leray-Lions operator from into with , is a Carathéodory function which grows like and is a finite Radon measure. We prove that renormalized solutions, though not globally bounded, are Hölder-continuous far from the support of .
We prove a Sobolev and a Morrey type inequality involving the mean curvature and the tangential gradient with respect to the level sets of the function that appears in the inequalities. Then, as an application, we establish a priori estimates for semistable solutions of in a smooth bounded domain . In particular, we obtain new and bounds for the extremal solution when the domain is strictly convex. More precisely, we prove that if and if .
Nous quantifions la propriété de continuation unique pour le laplacien dans un domaine borné quand la condition aux bords est a priori inconnue. Nous établissons une estimation de dépen-dance de type logarithmique suivant la terminologie de John [5]. Les outils utilisés reposent sur les inégalités de Carleman et les techniques des travaux de Robbiano [8, 11]. Aussi, nous déterminons en application de l’inégalité d’observabilité obtenue un coût du contrôle approché pour un problème elliptique modèle....
We consider the Laplace equation in a smooth bounded domain. We prove logarithmic estimates, in the sense of John [5] of solutions on a part of the boundary or of the domain without known boundary conditions. These results are established by employing Carleman estimates and techniques that we borrow from the works of Robbiano [8,11]. Also, we establish an estimate on the cost of an approximate control for an elliptic model equation.
