This paper deals with the non-negative boundary blow-up solutions of the equation ∆u = b(x)up + c(x)uσ|∇u|q in Ω ⊂ ℝ,N, where b(x), c(x) ∈ Cγ (Ω,ℝ+) for some 0 < γ < 1 and can be vanishing or singular on the boundary, and p, σ and q are non-negative constants. The existence and asymptotic behaviour of such a solution near the boundary are investigated, and we show how the nonlinear gradient term affects the results. As a consequence of the asymptotic behaviour, we also show the uniqueness result.

We consider the problem Δu = λf(u) in Ω, u(x) tends to +∞ as x approaches ∂Ω. Here, Ω is a bounded smooth domain in RN, N ≥ 1 and λ is a positive parameter. In this paper, we are interested in analysing the role of the sign changes of the function f in the number of solutions of this problem. As a consequence of our main result, we find that if Ω is star-shaped and f behaves like f(u) = u(u−a)(u−1) with ½ < a < 1, then there is a solution bigger than 1 for all λ and there exists λ0 > 0 such that, for λ < λ0, there is no positive solution that crosses 1 and, for λ > λ0, at least two solutions that cross 1. The proof is based on a priori estimates, the construction of barriers and topological-degree arguments.
