  • This paper investigates the regularity of stable radial solutions to semilinear elliptic equations arising in MEMS problems, modeled by the Dirichlet problem $-Δu=f(u)$ in the unit ball $B_1$, where the nonlinearity $f\in C^1([0,1))$ is nonnegative and satisfies $\int^1_0f(s)\,ds=+\infty$. We focus on the case where $f$ blows up as $u\to 1^{-}$. Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) are widely used devices in engineering and technology. Our main result establishes for dimensions $2\le n\le 6$, every stable radial solution is regular, meaning $\|u\|_{L^{\infty}(B_1)}<1$. This result gives a positive answer to an open problem posed by Bruera and Cabré concerning the regularity of stable solutions for singular nonlinearities without requiring a Crandall-Rabinowitz type condition, at least in the radial case.
