We study the existence of solutions of the nonlinear problem -Deltau+g(u) = mu in Omega, u = 0 on partial derivativeOhm, where mu is a Radon measure and g:R --> R is a nondecreasing continuous function with g(t) = 0, For Allt less than or equal to 0. Given g, Eq. (i) need not have a solution for every measure It, and we say that g is a good measure if (i) admits a solution. We show that for every mu there exists a largest good measure mu* less than or equal to mu. This reduced measure mu* has a number of remarkable properties. (C) 2004 Academie des sciences.
