Abstract
We consider some Bernoulli free boundary type problems for a general class of quasilinear elliptic (pseudomonotone) operators involving measures depending on unknown solutions. We treat those problems by applying the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz minimax theorem to a sequence of approximate nonsingular problems and passing to the limit by some a priori estimates. We show, by means of some capacity results, that sometimes the measures are regular. Finally, we give some qualitative properties of the solutions and, for a special case, we construct a continuum of solutions.
