Abstract

In this paper we consider the one-dimensional elliptic boundary blow-up problem

Δpu=f(u)  (a<t<b)\Delta_p u = f(u) \ \ (a < t < b)
u(a)=u(b)=+u(a) = u(b) = +\infty

where Δpu=(utp2u(t))\Delta_p u = (|u'{t}|^{p–2} u'(t))' is the usual pp-Laplace operator. We show that the structure of the solutions can be very rich even for a simple function ff which gives a leading that a similar result might hold also in higher dimensional spaces.
