Abstract

This paper is devoted to the existence and regularity of the homogenous Dirichlet boundary value problem for a singular nonlinear elliptic equation with natural growth in the gradient. By certain transformations, the problem can be transformed formally into either a Dirichlet problem or boundary blowup problems without gradient term, for which the corresponding existence results are also derived, which is a partial extension and supplement to the previous works.
