Some extremal singular solutions of a nonlinear elliptic equation. (Q1848282)

The author considers the problems \[ -\Delta u = u^p + t f,\tag{\(P_t\)} \] \(u>0\), \(u=0\) on the boundary, where \(f\) is a smooth positive function different from \(0\). The author is interested in ``weak'' solutions of \((P_t)\) and proves that there exists a \(t^*\) such that \((P_t)\) has a unique minimal solution \(u(.,t)\) for \(0<t<t^*\), a unique solution \(u(.,t^*)\) fot \(t=t^*\) and no solutions for \(t>t^*\). Moreover \(u(.,t)\) goes incresingly to \(u(.,t^*)\) i.e. as \(t\) increases to \(t^*\).
