The paper studies the nonexistence of global nontrivial weak solutions of evolution inequalities in \(\mathbb{R}^N\) of the form \[ \partial^k_t u-| x|^\sigma\Delta^m u\geq| u|^q;\;k,\;m\text{ and }q\text{ integers};\;k,m\geq 1\text{ and }q> 1, \] with initial conditions \(\partial^j_t u(x,0)= u_j(x)\), \(j=0,\dots,k-1\) satisfying a weak (integral) positivity condition, as well as of systems of two inequalities for \(u\) and \(v\), both of the previous form but with (possibly) different temporal derivative order and coupled by substituting in the right-hand side the corresponding variable by the other one, with (possibly) different exponents \(q\) and \(p\). The results are extensions to order \(k\) larger than 2 and to systems of previous results of several authors, and the proofs use the so-called test function method developed by Mitidieri and Pohozaev. In the case of critical degeneracy \(\sigma= 2m\), nonexistence of weak nontrivial solution of the previous scalar inequality is proven whenever \(q\) satisfies \(1<q<k+1\), and for any \(q>1\) if \(N\) is even and smaller than or equal to \(2m\). The same nonexistence result holds for the system whenever \(p\) and \(q\) satisfy some condition depending on the order of the \(t\) derivatives but independent on \(N\). In the case of subcritical degeneracy \(\sigma< 2m\), similar results of nonexistence are obtained for the scalar inequality and values of \(q\) smaller than a critical exponent which depends on \(k\), \(m\), and on the dimension \(N\), and for the system whenever \(p\) and \(q\) satisfy some condition depending on the order of the derivatives and also on \(N\). A similar result is obtained for an inhomogeneous problem which is an additive perturbation by a known function of the one described above. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1020.00013].
