Abstract [en]
Let
be a system of C∞ vector fields in Rn satisfying Hörmander’s finite rank condition and let Ω be a non-tangentially accessible domain with respect to the Carnot–Carathéodory distance d induced by X. We prove the doubling property of certain boundary measures associated to non-negative solutions, which vanish on a portion of ∂Ω, to the equation
Given p, 1<p<∞, fixed, we impose conditions on the function A=(A1,…,Am):Rn×Rm→Rm, which imply that the equation is a quasi-linear partial differential equation of p-Laplace type structured on vector fields satisfying the classical Hörmander condition. In the case p=2 and for linear equations, our result coincides with the doubling property of associated elliptic measures. To prove our result we establish, and this is of independent interest, a Wolff potential estimate for subelliptic equations of p-Laplace type.
