Local estimates and large solutions for some elliptic equations with absorption (Q2501589)

The author deals with the nonlinear elliptic equation \[ -\Delta_x u+ h(u)+ g(u)|V_x u|^2= f\quad\text{in }\Omega\subset\mathbb R^d,\tag{1} \] where \(h\) and \(g\) are continuous functions and study under which assumptions it is possible to have local estimates for solutions (or subsolutions) of (1). The importance of such local estimates is related to the possibility to construct solutions in a bounded domain with uniform blow-up at the boundary, as well as to solve equation (1) in unbounded domains without prescribing any behaviour on the datum \(f\) at infinity.
