Boundary behavior of large solutions for semilinear elliptic equations in borderline cases

Zhijun Zhang

Abstract:
In this article, we analyze the boundary behavior of solutions to the boundary blow-up elliptic problem
$$ \Delta u =b(x)f(u), \quad u\geq 0,\; x\in\Omega,\; u|_{\partial \Omega}=\infty, $$
where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain with smooth boundary in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $f(u)$ grows slower than any $u^p$ ( $p > 1$) at infinity, and $b \in C^{\alpha}(\bar{\Omega})$ which is non-negative in $\Omega$ and positive near $\partial\Omega$, may be vanishing on the boundary.
