The Pohozaev identity for the anisotropic \(p\)-Laplacian and estimates of the torsion function (Q1998662)

Summary: In this paper we prove a Pohozaev identity for the weighted anisotropic \(p\)-Laplace operator. As an application of the identity, we deduce the nonexistence of nontrivial solutions of the Dirichlet problem for the weighted anisotropic \(p\)-Laplacian in star-shaped domains of \(\mathbb{R}^n\). We also provide an upper bound estimate for the first Dirichet eigenvalue of the anisotropic \(p\)-Laplacian on bounded domains of \(\mathbb{R}^n\), some sharp estimates for the torsion function of compact manifolds with boundary and a non-existence result for the solutions of the Laplace equation on closed Riemannian manifolds.
