Abstract

We study the sequence un, which is solution of $-{\rm div}(a(x,{\nabla}u_n)) + \Phi''(|u_n|)\,u_n= f_n+ g_n$ in Ω an open bounded set of RN and un= 0 on ∂Ω, when fn tends to a measure concentrated on a set of null Orlicz-capacity. We consider the relation between this capacity and the N-function Φ, and prove a non-existence result.
