Synopsis

A nonlinear boundary value problem (P) having positive parameters L and a is considered. We associate with it a family of perturbed problems () affected by the presence of a barrier parameter γ related to L and a. There is a critical value L*(a) of the parameter L such that for L >L*(a), (P) has no regular solution. Then some natural extensions of (P), solutions of a free boundary value problem, arise as singular limits of ().
