This paper is considered with the quasilinear elliptic equation $ \Delta_{p}u = b(x)f(u),\,u(x)>0,\,x\in\Omega, $ where $ \Omega $ is an exterior domain with compact smooth boundary, $ b\in \rm C(\Omega) $ is non-negative in $ \Omega $ and may be singular or vanish on $ \partial\Omega $, $ f\in C[0, \infty) $ is positive and increasing on $ (0, \infty) $ which satisfies a generalized Keller-Osserman condition and is regularly varying at infinity with critical index $ p-1 $. By structuring a new comparison function, we establish the new asymptotic behavior of large solutions to the above equation in the exterior domain. We find that the lower term of $ f $ has an important influence on the asymptotic behavior of large solutions. And then we further establish the uniqueness of such solutions.

Abstract

This paper is considered with the quasilinear elliptic equation $ \Delta_{p}u = b(x)f(u),\,u(x)>0,\,x\in\Omega, $ where $ \Omega $ is an exterior domain with compact smooth boundary, $ b\in \rm C(\Omega) $ is non-negative in $ \Omega $ and may be singular or vanish on $ \partial\Omega $, $ f\in C[0, \infty) $ is positive and increasing on $ (0, \infty) $ which satisfies a generalized Keller-Osserman condition and is regularly varying at infinity with critical index $ p-1 $. By structuring a new comparison function, we establish the new asymptotic behavior of large solutions to the above equation in the exterior domain. We find that the lower term of $ f $ has an important influence on the asymptotic behavior of large solutions. And then we further establish the uniqueness of such solutions.
