[For the entire collection see Zbl 0715.00015.] This article deals with the singular eigenvalue problem \[ \sum_{i,j=1}^ m a_{ij}(x)u_{x_ i x_ j}+\sum_{i=1}^ n a_ i(x) u_{x_ i}-a(x)u=p(x)f(u)\;(x\in\Omega),\qquad u(x)=\infty \quad (x\in\partial\Omega), \] where \(\Omega\) is a bounded domain with smooth boundary, \(a_{ij}(x)\), \(a_ i(x)\), \(a(x)\) are smooth functions, the matrix \((a_{ij}(x))\) is uniformly elliptic, \(a(x)\geq 0\), \(p(x)\) is a positive continuous function, and \(f\) is a monotonically increasing function for which \(\int_ 0^ \infty(\int_ 0^ z f(t)dt)^{- 1/2}dz<\infty\). The main results are the uniqueness theorems for the cases \(f(u)=e^ u\) and \(f(u)=u^ k\) (\(k\geq 3\), \(p(x)=1\)) if the boundary \(\partial\Omega\) is a surface with bounded curvature, and in the case \(f(u)=u^ k\) (\(k>1\)) if \(\Omega\) is starlike and \(\partial \Omega\) is continuous.
