Abstract
Let \(p \ge 2\) and \(w,f \in L^1_{loc}(\mathbb {R}^N)\) be nonnegative functions such that \(w(x) \le C_1|x|^a\) and \(f(x) \ge C_2|x|^b\) for large |x|. We prove the Liouville type theorem for stable \(W^{1,p}_{loc}\) solutions of weighted quasilinear problem
The result holds true for \(N < \dfrac{(p-a)(p+3) + 4b}{p-1}\) and is sharp in the case that w and f are Hardy–Hénon potentials. We also prove the full classification of solutions which are stable outside a compact set to Gelfand equation \(-\Delta _N u = e^u\) in \(\mathbb {R}^N\).
