We discuss the asymptotic behavior of positive solutions of the quasilinear elliptic problem −Δ p u = a u p −1 − b ( x ) u q , u | ∂ Ω = 0, as q → p − 1 + 0 and as q → ∞, via a scale argument. Here Δ p is the p ‐Laplacian with 1 < p ∞ and q > p − 1. If p = 2, such problems arise in population dynamics. Our main results generalize the results for p = 2, but some technical difficulties arising from the nonlinear degenerate operator −Δ p are successfully overcome. As a by‐product, we can solve a free boundary problem for a nonlinear p ‐Laplacian equation.
