Abstract

We prove the existence and the uniqueness of a solutionu of−Lu+h|u| α-1u=f in some open domain ℝd, whereL is a strongly elliptic operator,f a nonnegative function, and α>1, under the assumption that ∂G is aC 2 compact hypersurface, lim x→∂G (dist(x, ∂G))2α/(α-1) f(x)=0, and lim x→∂G u(x)=∞.
