Structure of solutions of boundary value problems for a semilinear elliptic equation with singular nonlinearity is studied. It is seen that the structure of solutions relies on the boundary values. The global branches of solutions of the boundary value problems are established. Moreover, some Liouville type results for the entire solutions of the equation are also obtained.
Keywords: boundary value problems, branches of solutions, singular nonlinearities, Liouville type results., Semilinear elliptic equations.
