Abstract

We study the behavior of nonnegative solutions of the Dirichlet problem for a linear elliptic equation with a singular potential in the ball B = B(0,R) ⊂ R n (n ≥ 3), R ≤ 1. We find an exact condition on the potential ensuring the existence or absence of a nonnegative solution of that problem.
