In this paper, we study the singular boundary value problem $$ \begin{align*} \begin{cases} \Delta_\infty^h u=\lambda f(x,u,Du) \quad &\mathrm{in}\; \Omega, \\ u>0\quad &\mathrm{in}\; \Omega,\\ u=0 \quad &\mathrm{on} \;\partial\Omega, \end{cases} \end{align*} $$
where $\lambda>0$ is a parameter,
$h>1$ and
$\Delta _\infty ^h u=|Du|^{h-3} \langle D^2uDu,Du \rangle $ is the highly degenerate and h-homogeneous operator related to the infinity Laplacian. The nonlinear term
$f(x,t,p):\Omega \times (0,\infty )\times \mathbb {R}^{n}\rightarrow \mathbb {R}$ is a continuous function and may exhibit singularity at
$t\rightarrow 0^{+}$. We establish the comparison principle by the double variables method for the general equation
$\Delta _\infty ^h u=F(x,u,Du)$ under some conditions on the term
$F(x,t,p)$. Then, we establish the existence of viscosity solutions to the singular boundary value problem in a bounded domain based on Perron’s method and the comparison principle. Finally, we obtain the existence result in the entire Euclidean space by the approximation procedure. In this procedure, we also establish the local Lipschitz continuity of the viscosity solution.
