We are concerned with the nonnegative solutions of \(\Delta u = u^2\) in a bounded and smooth domain in \(\mathbb{R}^d\). We prove that they are uniquely determined by their fine trace on the boundary as defined in [DK98a], thus answering a major open question of [Dy02]. A probabilistic formula for a solution in terms of its fine trace and of the Brownian snake is also provided. A major role is played by the solutions which are dominated by a harmonic function in \(D\). The latters are called moderate in Dynkin's terminology. We show that every nonnegative solution of \(\Delta u = u^2\) in \(D\) is the increasing limit of moderate solutions.
