Abstract

We study boundary value problems for semilinear elliptic equations of the form Δu+gu=μ-\Delta u+g\circ u=\mu in a smooth bounded domain ΩRN\Omega\subset R^N. Let {μn}\{\mu_n\} and {τn}\{\tau_n\} be sequences of measure in Ω\Omega and Ω\partial \Omega respectively. Assume that there exists a solution unu_n of the equation with μ=μn\mu=\mu_n subject to boundary data τn\tau_n. Further assume that the sequences of measures converge in a weak sense to μ\mu and τ\tau respectively and {un}\{u_n\} converges to uu in L1(Ω)L^1(\Omega). In general uu is not a solution of the boundary value problem with data (μ,τ)(\mu,\tau). However there exist measures (μ,τ)(\mu^*,\tau^*) such that uu satisfies the equation with μ\mu replaced by μ\mu^* and with u=τu=\tau^* on the boundary. The pair (μ,τ)(\mu^*,\tau^*) is called the reduced limit of the sequence {(μn,τn)}\{(\mu_n,\tau_n)\}. We investigate the relation between the weak limit and the reduced limit and the dependence of the latter on the sequence.
