Exact boundary behavior of solutions to singular nonlinear Dirichlet problems

Bo Li, Zhijun Zhang

Abstract:
In this article we analyze the exact boundary behavior of solutions to the singular nonlinear Dirichlet problem
$$ -\Delta u=b(x)g(u)+\lambda a(x) f(u), \quad u>0, \quad x \in \Omega,\quad u|_{\partial \Omega}=0, $$
where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain with smooth boundary in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $\lambda> 0$, $g\in C^1((0,\infty), (0,\infty))$, $\lim_{s \to 0^+}g(s)=\infty$, $b, a \in C_{\rm loc}^{\alpha}({\Omega})$, are positive, but may vanish or be singular on the boundary, and $f\in C([0, \infty), [0, \infty))$.
