Continuous dependence of solutions of elliptic BVPs on parameters

The continuous dependence of solutions for a certain class of elliptic PDE on functional parameters is studied in this paper. The main result is as follow: the sequence {k}k∈N of solutions of the Dirichlet problem discussed here (corresponding to parameters {uk}k∈N) converges weakly to x0 (corresponding to u0) in W1,q 0 (Ω, R), provided that {uk}k∈N tends to u0 a.e. in Ω. Our investigation covers both sub and superlinear cases. We apply this result to some optimal control problems.
