Abstract

A classical regularity result is that non-negative solutions to the Dirichlet problem Δu=f\Delta u =f in a bounded domain Ω\Omega, where fLq(Ω)f\in L^q(\Omega), q>n2q>\frac{n}2, satisfy uL(Ω)CfLq(Ω)\|u\|_{L^\infty(\Omega)} \leq C\|f\|_{L^q(\Omega)}. We extend this result in three ways: we replace the Laplacian with a degenerate elliptic operator; we show that we can take the data ff in an Orlicz space LA(Ω)L^A(\Omega) that lies strictly between Ln2(Ω)L^{\frac{n}{2}}(\Omega) and Lq(Ω)L^q(\Omega), q>n2q>\frac{n}2; and we show that that we can replace the LAL^A norm in the right-hand side by a smaller expression involving the logarithm of the "entropy bump" fLA(Ω)/fLn2(Ω)\|f\|_{L^A(\Omega)}/\|f\|_{L^{\frac{n}{2}}(\Omega)}, generalizing a result due to Xu.
