Abstract

In this article we consider the existence of positive singular solutions on bounded domains and also classical solutions on exterior domains. First we consider positive singular solutions of the following problems: \begin{equation} \label{eq_abst_1}-\Delta u = (1+g(x)) | \nabla u|^p \qquad \mbox{ in } B_1, \qquad u = 0 \mbox{ on } \;\; \partial B_1, \qquad \mbox{ and} \end{equation} \begin{equation} \label{eq_abst_2} -\Delta u = | \nabla u|^p \qquad \mbox{ in } \Omega, \qquad u = 0 \mbox{ on } \;\; \partial \Omega. \end{equation} In the first problem B1B_1 is the unit ball in RN \mathbb{R}^N and in the second Ω\Omega is a bounded smooth domain in RN \mathbb{R}^N. In both cases we assume N3 N \ge 3, NN1<p<2 \frac{N}{N-1}<p<2 and in the first problem we assume g0 g \ge 0 is a H\"older continuous function with g(0)=0g(0)=0. We obtain positive singular solutions in both cases. \\ For the second equation we also consider the case of Ω\Omega an exterior domain RN \mathbb{R}^N where N3N \ge 3 and p>NN1 p >\frac{N}{N-1}. We prove the existence of a bounded positive classical solution with the additional property that u(x)x>0 \nabla u(x) \cdot x>0 for large x|x|.
