A uniqueness result for some singular semilinear elliptic equations

Abstract

Given $\Omega$ a bounded open subset of ${\mathbb{R}}^N$, we consider nonnegative solutions to the singular semilinear elliptic equation $-\Delta u=\frac{f}{u^{\beta }}$ in $H_{loc}^1(\Omega )$, under zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. For $\beta >0$ and $f\in L^1(\Omega )$, we prove that the solution is unique.
