Large solutions for quasilinear elliptic equation with nonlinear gradient term

We study the existence, asymptotic behavior near the boundary and uniqueness of large solutions for a class of quasilinear elliptic equation with a nonlinear gradient term. By constructing the suitable blow-up upper and lower solutions, we obtain the existence and the asymptotic behavior of radial large solutions of the problem in balls and then derive the existence of solutions in a general domain by a comparison argument. By using a perturbation method and constructing comparison functions, we show the exact asymptotic behavior of any nonnegative solution of it near the boundary. The uniqueness is shown by a standard argument.
