Abstract: Let M be a complete non-compact Riemannian manifold and let sigma be a Radon measure on M. We study the problem of existence or non-existence of positive solutions to a semilinear elliptic inequaliy �egin{equation*} -Delta ugeq sigma u^{q}quad ext{in},,M, end{equation*} where q>1. We obtain necessary and sufficent criteria for existence of positive solutions in terms of Green function of Delta. In particular, explicit necessary and sufficient conditions are given when M has nonnegative Ricci curvature everywhere in M, or more generally when Green's function satisfies the 3G-inequality.


The article are concerned with the existence and nonexistence of solutions for the inequality \(-\Delta u\geq \sigma u^q\) on a connected complete non-compact manifold \(M\). Here \(\sigma\) is a nonnegative Radon measure on \(M\) and \(q>1\) is a real number. The authors deduce necessary and suficient conditions in terms of the Green function that corresponds to the Laplace operator. These conditions are in explicit form when \(M\) has nonnegative Ricci curvature on \(M\) or when the Green function satisfies the \(3G\)-inequality.
