Estimates of Nonnegative Solutions to Semilinear Elliptic Equations
Let $L$ be a second order uniformly elliptic differential operator in a domain $D$ of $\mathbb{R}^{d}$, $ψ:\mathbb{R}_+\to \mathbb{R}_+$ be a nondecreasing continuous function and let $ξ,g:D\to\mathbb{R}_+$ be locally bounded Borel measurable functions. Under appropriate conditions, we determine a function $φ$ with values in $]0,1]$ such that for every nonnegative solution to inequality $-Lu+ξψ(u) \geq g$ in $D$ and for every $x\in D$, $$ u(x)\geq p(x)\,φ\left(\frac{G_D(ξψ(p))(x)}{p(x)}\right) $$ where $p=G_Dg$ is the Green function of $g$. The function $φ$ is completely determined by $ψ$ and does not depend on $L,D,ξ$ or $g$.
