We revisit the problem Δu = f (u) in Ω, u(x) → ∞ as x → ∂Ω, where Ω ⊂ R N , N > 1, is a bounded smooth domain and f is an increasing and continuous function in R + with f (0 + ) = 0 for which the Keller-Osserman condition holds. We study uniqueness of solutions, extending known results about the boundary blow-up behavior of solutions. Furthermore, we obtain explicit representations for the second order terms in the explosive boundary expansion of solutions under intrinsic and direct assumptions. Our study is exhaustive including both ordinary and borderline cases providing new and sharp results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
