Résumé
Abstract

Nous proposons une méthode simple pour obtenir de nouveaux théorèmes du type Liouville pour les supersolutions positives du problème elliptique $- Δ_{p} u + b (x) {| \nabla u |}^{\frac{p q}{q + 1}} = c (x) u^{q}$ dans $Ω$ , où $Ω$ est un domaine extérieur dans $ℝ^{N}$ avec $N \geq p > 1$ et $q \geq p - 1$ . Dans le cas $q \neq p - 1$ , on traite principalement des potentiels du type $b (x) = {| x |}^{a}$ , $c (x) = {λ | x |}^{σ}$ , où $λ > 0$ et $a, σ \in ℝ$ . Nous montrons que les supersolutions positives n’existent pas dans certaines gammes de paramètres $p, q, a, σ$ , qui s’avèrent optimales. Si $q = p - 1$ , on considère le problème ci-dessus avec des poids généraux $b (x) \geq 0$ , $c (x) > 0$ et on suppose que $c (x) - \frac{b^{p} (x)}{p^{p}} > 0$ si $| x |$ est assez large, mais on admet aussi le cas ${lim}_{| x | \to \infty} [c (x) - \frac{b^{p} (x)}{p^{p}}] = 0$ . Les potentiels $b$ et $c$ sont autorisés à être non bornés. Nous prouvons que si cette équation a une supersolution positive, alors les potentiels doivent satisfaire une certaine inégalité différentielle ne dépendant pas de la supersolution. Nous établissons également des conditions suffisantes pour la non-existence de supersolutions positives en relation avec les valeurs de $τ : = {lim sup}_{| x | \to \infty} | x | b (x) \leq \infty$ . Un ingrédient clé des preuves est une inégalité généralisée de type Hardy associée à l’opérateur $p$ -Laplace.

We provide a simple method for obtaining new Liouville-type theorems for positive supersolutions of the elliptic problem $- Δ_{p} u + b (x) {| \nabla u |}^{\frac{p q}{q + 1}} = c (x) u^{q}$ in $Ω$ , where $Ω$ is an exterior domain in $ℝ^{N}$ with $N \geq p > 1$ and $q \geq p - 1$ . In the case $q \neq p - 1$ , we mainly deal with potentials of the type $b (x) = {| x |}^{a}$ , $c (x) = {λ | x |}^{σ}$ , where $λ > 0$ and $a, σ \in ℝ$ . We show that positive supersolutions do not exist in some ranges of the parameters $p, q, a, σ$ , which turn out to be optimal. When $q = p - 1$ , we consider the above problem with general weights $b (x) \geq 0$ , $c (x) > 0$ and we assume that $c (x) - \frac{b^{p} (x)}{p^{p}} > 0$ for large $| x |$ , but we also allow the case ${lim}_{| x | \to \infty} [c (x) - \frac{b^{p} (x)}{p^{p}}] = 0$ . The weights $b$ and $c$ are allowed to be unbounded. We prove that if this equation has a positive supersolution, then the potentials must satisfy a related differential inequality not depending on the supersolution. We also establish sufficient conditions for the nonexistence of positive supersolutions in relationship with the values of $τ : = {lim sup}_{| x | \to \infty} | x | b (x) \leq \infty$ . A key ingredient in the proofs is a generalized Hardy-type inequality associated to the $p$ -Laplace operator.
