$\Delta u = 0$ in $ \Omega$, $\qquad \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu} =\lambda f(u)$ on $\Gamma_1, \qquad u = 0$ on $\Gamma_2$
where $\lambda>0$, $f(u) = e^u$ or $f(u) = (1+u)^p$, $\Gamma_1$, $\Gamma_2$ is a partition of $\partial \Omega$ and $\Omega\subset \mathbb R^N$. We determine sharp conditions on the dimension $N$ and $p>1$ such that the extremal solution is bounded, where the extremal solution refers to the one associated to the largest $\lambda$ for which a solution exists.
