Abstract: This article establishes existence, non-existence and Liouville-type theorems for nonlinear equations of the form -div (|x|^{a} D u ) = f(x,u), ~ u > 0,, mbox{ in } Omega, where Ngeq3, Omega is an open domain in mathbbRN containing the origin, N2+a>0 and f satisfies structural conditions, including certain growth properties. The first main result is a non-existence theorem for boundary-value problems in bounded domains star-shaped with respect to the origin, provided f exhibits supercritical growth. A consequence of this is the existence of positive entire solutions to the equation for f exhibiting the same growth. A Liouville-type theorem is then established, which asserts no positive solution of the equation in Omega=mathbbRN exists provided the growth of f is subcritical. The results are then extended to systems of the form -div (|x|^{a} D u_1) !=! f_{1}(x,u_1,u_2), -div (|x|^{a} D u_2) !=! f_{2}(x,u_1,u_2), u_1, u_2 !>! 0,, mbox{ in } Omega, but after overcoming additional obstacles not present in the single equation. Specific cases of our results recover classical ones for a renowned problem connected with finding best constants in Hardy-Sobolev and Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities as well as existence results for well-known elliptic systems.
