Abstract

If Au=div(a(x,Du))Au=-div(a(x,Du)) is a monotone operator defined on the Sobolev space W1,p(Rn)W^{1,p}(R^n), 1<p<+1<p<+\infty, with a(x,0)=0a(x,0)=0 for a.e. xRnx\in R^n, the capacity CA(E,F)C_A(E,F) relative to AA can be defined for every pair (E,F)(E,F) of bounded sets in RnR^n with EFE\subset F. We prove that CA(E,F)C_A(E,F) is increasing and countably subadditive with respect to EE and decreasing with respect to FF. Moreover we investigate the continuity properties of CA(E,F)C_A(E,F) with respect to EE and FF.
