Some nonexistence results for quasilinear elliptic problems (Q1840798)

The paper is devoted to the nonexistence of positive solutions for some quasilinear elliptic inequalities and their systems in a bounded domain \(\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N,\;N\geq 1\), without prescribing any boundary conditions. The author generalizes the celebrated result of \textit{H. Brezis} and \textit{X. Cabré} [Boll. Unione Mat. Ital., Sez. B, Artic. Ric. Mat. (8) 1, No.~2, 223-262 (1998; Zbl 0907.35048)] about the nonexistence of a nontrivial solution of the problem \(-\Delta u \geq |x|^{-\alpha}u^q,\;u\geq 0\) in \(\Omega\) for \(\alpha \geq 2,\;q\geq 2.\) The first result of the author verifies that the problem \(-\Delta_p u\geq |x|^{-\alpha}u^q, \;u\geq 0\) in \(\Omega,\;p>1,\;\alpha \geq \min (p,N),\;q>p-1\) has only a trivial solution in the class \(S=\{u\in C(\bar\Omega),\;|Du|^p,\;|x|^{-\alpha}u^q \in L^1_{\text{loc}}(\Omega)\}\). The second result is about the nonexistence of two positive solutions of the system \(-\Delta_p u \geq |x|^{-\alpha}u^av^b, \;-\Delta_q v \geq |x|^{-\beta}u^cv^d,\;u\geq 0,\;v\geq 0\) in \(\Omega\).
