A Liouville type theorem for p-Laplace equations

Cristian Enache

Abstract:
In this note we study solutions defined on the whole space $\mathbb{R}^N$ for the p-Laplace equation
$$ \hbox{div}(| \nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u)+f(u)=0. $$
Under an appropriate condition on the growth of f, which is weaker than conditions previously considered in McCoy [3] and Cuccu-Mhammed-Porru [1], we prove the non-existence of non-trivial positive solutions.
