Uniqueness and boundary behavior of large solutions to elliptic problems with singular weights (Q1767325)

In this paper the authors study the problems corresponding of power and exponential type, that is \[ \begin{cases} \Delta u=a(x)u^m\quad & \text{in }\Omega\\ u=+\infty & \text{on }\partial\Omega\end{cases}\tag{1} \] and \[ \begin{cases} \Delta v=a(x)e^v\quad & \text{in }\Omega\\ v=+\infty & \text{on }\partial\Omega,\end{cases}\tag{2} \] where the weight function \(a(x)\) is assumed to be Hölder continuous, growing like a negative power of \(d(x)=\text{dist}(x,\partial\Omega)\) near \(\partial\Omega\). The authors prove existence and nonexistence results, uniqueness and asymptotic estimates near the boundary for both the solutions and their normal derivatives.
