Study of Solutions for a quasilinear Elliptic Problem With negative exponents

Abstract

The authors of this paper deal with the existence and regularities of weak solutions to the homogenous $\hbox{Dirichlet}$ boundary value problem for the equation $-\hbox{div}(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u)+|u|^{p-2}u=\frac{f(x)}{u^{\alpha}}$. The authors apply the method of regularization and $\hbox{Leray-Schauder}$ fixed point theorem as well as a necessary compactness argument to prove the existence of solutions and then obtain some maximum norm estimates by constructing three suitable iterative sequences. Furthermore, we find that the critical exponent of $m$ in $\|f\|_{L^{m}(\Omega)}$. That is, when $m$ lies in different intervals, the solutions of the problem mentioned belongs to different $\hbox{Sobolev}$ spaces. Besides, we prove that the solution of this problem is not in $W^{1,p}_{0}(\Omega)$ when $\alpha>2$, while the solution of this problem is in $W^{1,p}_{0}(\Omega)$ when $1<\alpha<2$.
