Existence and regularity for a singular semilinear Sturm-Liouville problem (Q804781)

The author applies the Mountain Pass lemma to study existence of weak positive solutions for the equation \[ - \frac{1}{r^{\gamma}}(r^{\gamma}u')'=r^{\beta}| u|^{p- 1}u\text{ in } (0,R);\quad u(R)=0,\quad \int^{R}_{0}r^{\gamma}| u'|^ 2 dr<\infty, \] \(p\geq 1\), \(\beta >-2\), \(\gamma\in {\mathbb{R}}\). Boundedness and uniqueness are also established.
