Abstract

By Karamata regular variation theory, we show the existence and exact asymptotic behaviour of the unique classical solution near the boundary to a singular Dirichlet problem , , , , where is a bounded domain with smooth boundary in , , , for each and some ; and for some , which is nonnegative on and may be unbounded or singular on the boundary.
