We consider a Liouville-Gelfand type problem \[ -\Delta u = e^u - 1 + \lambda f(x) \quad \text{in} \; \Omega, \quad u > 0 \quad \text{in} \; \Omega, \quad u = 0 \quad \text{on} \; \partial\Omega, \] where $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N \; (N \ge 1)$ is a smooth bounded domain, $f \ge 0$, $f \not\equiv 0$ is a given smooth function, and $\lambda \ge 0$ is a parameter. We are concerned with the regularity property of extremal solutions to the problem, and prove that there exists a domain $\Omega$ and a smooth nonnegative function $f$ such that the extremal solution of the problem is singular when the dimension $N \ge 10$. This result is sharp in the sense that the extremal solution is always regular (bounded) for any $f$ and $\Omega$ when $1 \le N \le 9$.
Keywords: exponential nonlinearity., Extremal solution.
