Consider the semilinear elliptic equation -Δu=λf(u) in the unit ball B1⊂ ℝN, with Dirichlet data u|∂ B1=0, where λ≥ 0 is a real parameter and f is a C1 positive, nondecreasing and convex function in [0,∞) such that f(s)/s→∞ as s→∞. In this paper we study the behavior of f'(u^∗) near the origin when u^∗, the extremal solution of the previous problem associated to λ=λ^∗, is singular. This answers to an open problems posed by Brezis and Vázquez.
