Non-existence of positive radial solution for semipositone weighted p-Laplacian problems

Sigifredo Herron, Emer Lopera

Abstract:
We prove the non-existence of positive radial solution to a semipositone weighted $p$-Laplacian problem whenever the weight is sufficiently large. Our main tools are a Pohozaev type identity and a comparison principle.
