We give new criteria for the existence of weak solutions to an equation with a super linear source termwhere Ω is a either a bounded smooth domain or R N + , q > 1 and σ ∈ M + (∂Ω) is a nonnegative Radon measure on ∂Ω. One of the criteria we obtain is expressed in terms of some Bessel capacities on ∂Ω. We also give a sufficient condition for the existence of weak solutions to equation with source mixed terms.where q1, q2 ≥ 0, q1 + q2 > 1, q2 < 2, σ ∈ M(∂Ω) is a Radon measure on ∂Ω.
