The impact of a lower order term in a Dirichlet problem with a singular nonlinearity
Lucio Boccardo[1] and Gisella Croce[2] (1) Università di Roma La Sapienza, Italy(2) Université du Havre Normandie, Le Havre, France
In this paper we study the existence and regularity of solutions to the following Dirichlet problem $$\begin{cases} -\div(a(x)|\nabla u|^{p-2} \nabla u) + u|u|^{r-1} = \dfrac{f(x)}{u^{\theta}} & \mbox{in $\Omega$,} \\ u > 0 & \mbox{in $\Omega$,} \\ u = 0 & \mbox{on $\partial\Omega$} \\ \end{cases}$$ proving that the lower order term $ u|u|^{r-1}$ has some regularizing effects on the solutions.
Keywords: Weak solution, approximating problems, strong maximum principle, Schauder’s fixed point theorem
