Existence of positive solutions for a class of singular elliptic problems with convection term and critical exponential growth.

This paper uses the Galerkin method to investigate the existence of positive solution to a class of singular elliptic problems given by { − Δ u = λ 0 u β 0 + Λ 0 | ∇ u | γ 0 + f 0 (u) | x | α 0 + h 0 (x) , u > 0 in Ω , u = 0 on ∂ Ω , where Ω ⊂ R 2 is a bounded smooth domain, 0 < β 0 , γ 0 ≤ 1 , α 0 ∈ [ 0 , 2) , h 0 (x) ≥ 0 , h 0 ≠ 0 , h 0 ∈ L ∞ (Ω) , 0 < ∥ h 0 ∥ ∞ < λ 0 < Λ 0 , and f 0 are continuous functions. More precisely, f 0 has a critical exponential growth, that is, the nonlinearity behaves like exp (ϒ ‾ s 2) as | s | → ∞ , for some ϒ ‾ > 0 . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
