Renormalized solutions of semilinear equations involving measure data and operator corresponding to Dirichlet form

We generalize the notion of renormalized solution to semilinear elliptic and parabolic equations involving operator associated with general (possibly nonlocal) regular Dirichlet form and smooth measure on the right-hand side. We show that under mild integrability assumption on the data a quasi-continuous function $u$ is a renormalized solution to an elliptic (or parabolic) equation in the sense of our definition iff $u$ is its probabilistic solution, i.e. $u$ can be represented by a suitable nonlinear Feynman-Kac formula. This implies in particular that for a broad class of local and nonlocal semilinear equations there exists a unique renormalized solution.
