Strong barriers for weighted quasilinear equations

Abstrakti

In potential theory, use of barriers is one of the most important techniques. We construct strong barriers for weighted quasilinear elliptic operators. There are two applications: (i) solvability of Poisson-type equations with boundary singular data, and (ii) a geometric version of Hardy inequality. Our construction method can be applied to a general class of divergence form elliptic operators on domains with rough boundary.
