Minimal L^p-Solutions to Singular Sublinear Elliptic Problems

We solve the existence problem for the minimal positive solutions $u\in L^{p}(\Omega, dx)$ to the Dirichlet problems for sublinear elliptic equations of the form $$\begin{cases} Lu=\sigma u^q+\mu\qquad \quad \text{in} \quad \Omega, \\ \liminf\limits_{x \rightarrow y}u(x) = 0 \qquad y \in \partial_{\infty}\Omega, \end{cases}$$ where $0<q<1$ and $Lu:=-\text{div} (\mathcal{A}(x)\nabla u)$ is a linear uniformly elliptic operator with bounded measurable coefficients. The coefficient $\sigma$ and data $\mu$ are nonnegative Radon measures on an arbitrary domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ with a positive Green function associated with $L$. Our techniques are based on the use of sharp Green potential pointwise estimates, weighted norm inqualities, and norm estimates in terms of generalized energy.
