The nonhomogeneous minimal surface equation involving a measure

William Karl Ziemer

Vol. 167 (1995), No. 1, 183–200
Abstract

We find existence of a minimum in BV for the variational problem associated with div A(Du) + μ = 0, where A is a mean curvature type operator and μ a nonnegative measure satisfying a suitable growth condition. We then show a local L estimate for the minimum. A similar local L estimate is shown for sub-solutions that are Sobolev rather than BV .
