Properties of the extremal solution for a fourth-order elliptic problem

Abstract: Let

l a m b d a^{*} > 0

denote the largest possible value of

l a m b d a

such that

{{array}{lllllll} Delta^{2}u=frac{lambda}{(1-u)^{p}} & {in} B, 0<uleq 1 & {in} B, u=frac{partial u}{partial n} =0 & {on} partial B. {array} .

has a solution, where

B

is the unit ball in

R^{n}

centered at the origin,

p > 1

and

n

is the exterior unit normal vector. We show that for

l a m b d a = l a m b d a^{*}

this problem possesses a unique weak solution

u^{*}

, called the extremal solution. We prove that

u^{*}

is singular when

n g e q 13

for

p

large enough and
