Nonexistence of solutions for elliptic equations with supercritical nonlinearity in nearly nontrivial domains

Abstract: We deals with nonlinear elliptic Dirichlet problems of the form

{ m div}(|D u|^{p-2}D u )+f(u)=0quadmbox{ in }Omega,qquad uin H^{1,p}_0(Omega)

where

O m e g a

is a bounded domain in

m a t h b b R^{n}

,

n g e 2

,

p > 1

and

f

has supercritical growth from the viewpoint of Sobolev embedding. Our aim is to show that there exist bounded contractible non star-shaped domains

O m e g a

, arbitrarily close to domains with nontrivial topology, such that the problem does not have nontrivial solutions. For example, we prove that if

n = 2

,

1 < p < 2

,

f (u) = | u |^{q - 2} u

with

q > 2 p o v e r 2 - p

and

O m e g a = (h o c o s h e t a, h o s i n h e t a) : | h e t a | < a l p h a, | h o - 1 | < s

with

0 < a l p h a < p i

and

0 < s < 1

, then for all

q > 2 p o v e r 2 - p

there exists

such that the problem has only the trivial solution

u e q u i v 0

for all

a l p h a i n (0, p i)

and

.
