Singularities and asymptotics of solutions of the Emden-Chandrasekhar-Riccati equation

Abstract: We study the local properties of positive solutions of the equation $-\Delta u+ m\abs{\nabla u}^q-e^{u}=0$ in a punctured domain $\Omega\setminus{0}$ of $R^N$, $N\geq 2$, where $m$ is a positive parameter and $q>1$. We study particularly the existence of solutions with an isolated singularity and the local behaviour of such singular solutions. .
