%0 Journal Article %T Regularity of the extremal solution for a fourth-order elliptic problem with singular nonlinearity %A Baishun Lai %A Qing Luo %J Mathematics %D 2010 %I arXiv %X In this paper, we consider the relation between $p > 1$ and critical dimension of the extremal solution of the semilinear equation $$\{\begin{array}{lllllll} \beta \Delta^{2}u-\tau \Delta u=\frac{\lambda}{(1-u)^{p}} & in\ \ B, 00$ is a parameter, $\tau>0, \beta>0,p>1$ are fixed constants. By Hardy-Rellich inequality, we find that when $p$ is large enough, the critical dimension is 13.} %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1001.2063v3
