TL;DR
The paper addresses global Hölder solvability for linear and quasilinear Poisson-type equations with measure data on bounded domains. It develops a barrier-based approach under a capacity density condition and Morrey-type measure data, yielding a unique weak solution that is globally Hölder continuous with explicit exponents and boundary control. A key contribution is a constructive method for supersolutions and a criterion linking solvability to the Morrey-type boundary measures, plus a compact embedding theorem for W^{1,p}_0(Ω) into L^{p}(Ω;ν). The results extend classical Poisson theory to Lipschitz domains with minimal data assumptions and offer a unified framework connecting capacity, measure data, and global boundary regularity with embedding consequences.
Abstract
We establish an existence result for globally continuous weak solutions to elliptic equations of the $p$-Poisson type. This result significantly improves Theorem 8.30 in Gilbarg-Trudinger (1983) and offers a novel contribution for the classical Poisson equation on Lipschitz domains, ensuring global Hölder continuity of solutions under a minimal assumption on the right-hand side. Applications of this result to embedding theorems are also discussed.
