We consider the partial differential equationwith f nonnegative and bounded and m ∈ R. We prove existence and uniqueness of solutions for both the Dirichlet problem (with bounded and nonnegative boundary datum) and the homogeneous Neumann problem. Solutions, which a priori belong to a space of truncated bounded variation functions, are shown to have zero jump part with respect to the H N −1 Hausdorff measure. Results and proofs extend to more general nonlinearities.
