Abstract
Existence, non-existence and asymptotic behaviour of blow-up entire solutions of a class of quasi-linear elliptic equation div(|∇u| p−2∇u) = ρ(x)f(u), x ∈ R N is obtained. Under several hypotheses on the ρ(x) and f(r), we obtain the existence of blow-up entire solution. Existence and asymptotic behaviour is discussed by constructing lower and upper solution. For non-existence we explore radial symmetry, estimates on an associated integral equation and Keller–Osserman condition. The results of this article are new and extend previously known results.
