- The paper considers linear elliptic equations with regular Borel measures as inhomogeneity. Such equations frequently appear in state-constrained optimal control problems. By a counter-example of Serrin, it is known that, in the presence of non-smooth data, a standard weak formulation does not ensure uniqueness for such equations. Therefore several notions of solution have been developed that guarantee uniqueness. In this note, we compare different definitions of solutions, namely the ones of Stampacchia and the two notions of solutions of Casas and Alibert-Raymond, and show that they are the same. As side results, we reformulate the solution in the sense of Stampacchia, and prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions in in case of mixed boundary conditions.
