Renormalized solutions of semilinear elliptic equations with general measure data

Abstract: In the paper, we first propose a definition of renormalized solution of semilinear elliptic equation involving operator corresponding to a general (possibly nonlocal) symmetric regular Dirichlet form satisfying the so-called absolute continuity condition and general (possibly nonsmooth) measure data. Then we analyze the relationship between our definition and other concepts of solutions considered in the literature (probabilistic solutions, solution defined via the resolvent kernel of the underlying Dirichlet form, Stampacchia's definition by duality). We show that under mild integrability assumption on the data all these concepts coincide.
