Abstract
We take up the existence and the exact asymptotic behavior near the boundary partial derivative Omega of the unique classical solution to a singular Dirichlet problem
-Delta u = a(x)g(u), x is an element of Omega, u > 0 in Omega, u|(partial derivative Omega) = 0,
where Omega is a C-1,C-1-bounded doamin in R-n, n >= 2 and function a is singular near the boundary and belongs to the Kato class K (Omega). (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier Ltd
