Isolated singularities of positive solutions to the weighted \(p\)-Laplacian (Q283547): Difference between revisions

The authors consider the following equation \[ -\operatorname{div}\big( |x|^{\alpha} |\nabla u|^{p-2} \nabla u \big) + |x|^{\gamma} |u|^{q-1} u = 0 \qquad \text{in } B_1(0) \setminus \{ 0 \}, \] with \(B_1(0)\) being the unit ball centered at the origin in \(\mathbb R^N\), \(p > 1\), \(\alpha \geqslant p - N\), \(\gamma > -N\), \(q > p - 1\). The interest is in classifying the isolated singularities of the solutions. The restriction on the parameters is due to the following facts: for \(\alpha < p - N\) there may exist singular solutions which are non-classical, while for \(\alpha \geqslant p - N\), \(q > p - 1\) and \(\gamma \leqslant -N\) then every solution is bounded near at the origin. To discuss and classify the singularities near the origin, the authors discuss first radial solutions.
