Abstract: We consider the semilinear problem [ Delta u = lambda_+ left(-log u^+ ight) 1_{{u > 0}} - lambda_- left(-log u^- ight) 1_{{u < 0}} qquad hbox{ in } B_1, ] where $B_1$ is the unit ball in $mathbb{R}^n$ and assume $lambd{a}_{+},lambd{a}_{-}>0$. Using a monotonicity formula argument, we prove an optimal regularity result for solutions: $ablau$ is a log-Lipschitz function. This problem introduces two main difficulties. The first is the lack of invariance in the scaling and blow-up of the problem. The other (more serious) issue is a term in the Weiss energy which is potentially non-integrable unless one already knows the optimal regularity of the solution: this puts us in a catch-22 situation.
