Asymptotic behavior of solutions of semilinear elliptic equations near an isolated singularity (Q2456987)

The authors consider the semilinear elliptic equation \(\Delta u=h(u)\) in \(\Omega\setminus \{0\},\) where \(\Omega\) is an open subset of \({\mathbb R}^N\) \((N\geq 2)\) containing the origin and \(h\) is locally Lipschitz continuous on \([0,\infty),\) positive in \((0,\infty).\) It is given a complete classification of isolated singularities of positive solutions when \(h\) varies regularly at infinity of index \(q\in (1, C_N)\) (that is, \(\lim_{u\to\infty}h(\lambda u)/h(u)=\lambda^q,\) for every \(\lambda>0\)), where \(C_N\) denotes either \(N/(N-2)\) if \(N\geq 3\) or \(\infty\) if \(N=2.\) The present result extends a well-known theorem of Véron for the case \(h(u)=u^q.\)
