Abstract

We investigate a quasilinear elliptic equation with variable growth in a bounded nonsmooth domain involving a signed Radon measure. We obtain an optimal global Calderón–Zygmund type estimate for such a measure data problem, by proving that the gradient of a very weak solution to the problem is as globally integrable as the first order maximal function of the associated measure, up to a correct power, under minimal regularity requirements on the nonlinearity, the variable exponent and the boundary of the domain.
