Asymptotic behaviour of large solutions of quasilinear elliptic problems

The paper deals with the large solutions of the problems Deltau = uP and Deltau = eu . They blow up at the boundary. It is well-known that the first term in their asymptotic behaviour near the boundary is independent of the geometry of the boundary. We determine the second term which depends on the...

Description
Summary:The paper deals with the large solutions of the problems Deltau = uP and Deltau = eu . They blow up at the boundary. It is well-known that the first term in their asymptotic behaviour near the boundary is independent of the geometry of the boundary. We determine the second term which depends on the mean curvature of the nearest point on the boundary. The computation is based on suitable upper and lower solutions and on estimates given in [4]. In the last section these estimates are used together with the P -function to establish the asymptotic behaviour of the gradients.
