Uniqueness and asymptotic behavior of boundary blow-up solutions to semilinear elliptic problems with non-standard growth

Shuibo Huang, Wan-Tong Li, Qiaoyu Tian

Abstract:
In this article, we analyze uniqueness and asymptotic behavior of boundary blow-up non-negative solutions to the semilinear elliptic equation
$$\displaylines{ \Delta u=b(x)f(u),\quad x\in \Omega,\cr u(x)=\infty, \quad x\in\partial\Omega, }$$
where $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ is a bounded smooth domain, b(x) is a non-negative function on $\Omega$ and f is non-negative on $[0,\infty)$ satisfying some structural conditions. The main novelty of this paper is that uniqueness is established only by imposing a control on their growth on the weights b(x) near $\partial\Omega$ and the nonlinear term f at infinite, rather than requiring them to have a precise asymptotic behavior. Our proof is based on the method of sub and super-solutions and the Safonov iteration technique.
