Boundary singularities of semilinear elliptic equations with Leray-Hardy potential

Abstract: We study existence and uniqueness of solutions of (E 1) --$\Delta$u + $\mu$ |x| ^{-2} u + g(u) = $\nu$ in $\Omega$, u = $\lambda$ on $\partial$$\Omega$, where $\Omega$ $\subset$ R N + is a bounded smooth domain such that 0 $\in$ $\partial$$\Omega$, $\mu$ $\ge$ -- N 2 4 is a constant, g a continuous nondecreasing function satisfying some integral growth condition and $\nu$ and $\lambda$ two Radon measures respectively in $\Omega$ and on $\partial$$\Omega$. We show that the situation differs considerably according the measure is concentrated at 0 or not. When g is a power we introduce a capacity framework which provides necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of problem (E 1).
