The exact asymptotic behaviour of the unique solution to a singular Dirichlet problem

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.
