Boundary singularities of solutions of N-harmonic equations with absorption

Abstract

We study the boundary behaviour of solutions uu of ΔNu+uq1u=0-\Delta_{N}u+ |u|^{q-1}u=0 in a bounded smooth domain ΩRN\Omega\subset\mathbb R^{N} subject to the boundary condition u=0u=0 except at one point, in the range q>N1q>N-1. We prove that if q2N1q\geq 2N-1 such a uu is identically zero, while, if N1<q<2N1N-1<q<2N-1, uu inherits a boundary behaviour which either corresponds to a weak singularity, or to a strong singularity. Such singularities are effectively constructed.
