Abstract

Given a bounded finely open set VV and a function ff on the fine boundary of VV, we introduce four types of upper Perron solutions to the nonlinear Dirichlet problem for pp-energy minimizers, 1<p<1<p<\infty, with ff as boundary data. These solutions are given as pointwise infima of suitable families of fine pp-superminimizers in VV. We show (under natural assumptions) that the four upper Perron solutions are equal quasieverywhere and that they are fine pp-minimizers of the pp-energy integral. We moreover show that the upper and lower Perron solutions coincide quasieverywhere for Sobolev and for uniformly continuous boundary data, i.e.\ that such boundary data are resolutive. For the uniformly continuous boundary data, the Perron solutions are also shown to be finely continuous and thus finely pp-harmonic. We prove our results in a complete metric space XX equipped with a doubling measure supporting a pp-Poincar\'e inequality, but they are new also in unweighted Rn\mathbf{R}^n.
