Liouville results for double-phase problems involving Δ λ -Laplacian

Yunfeng Wei, Caisheng Chen

Abstract

In this paper, we examine the following double-phase problem with weights

div λ λ u r 2 λ u + w ( x ) λ u p 2 λ u = f ( x ) | u | q 1 u R N f ( y ) | u ( y ) | q + 1 | x y | λ τ d y i n R N , $$-{\text{div}}_{\lambda }\left({\left\vert {\nabla }_{\lambda }u\right\vert }^{r-2}{\nabla }_{\lambda }u+w\left(x\right){\left\vert {\nabla }_{\lambda }u\right\vert }^{p-2}{\nabla }_{\lambda }u\right)=f\left(x\right)\vert u{\vert }^{q-1}u\underset{{\mathbb{R}}^{N}}{\int }\frac{f\left(y\right)\vert u\left(y\right){\vert }^{q+1}}{\vert x-y{\vert }_{\lambda }^{\tau }}\mathrm{d}y \mathrm{i}\mathrm{n} {\mathbb{R}}^{N},$$

where pr ≥ 2, q > p − 1, τ > 0. Let

w ( x ) , f ( x ) L loc 1 ( R N ) $w\left(x\right),f\left(x\right)\in {L}_{\text{loc}}^{1}\left({\mathbb{R}}^{N}\right)$
be nonnegative functions such that
w ( x ) C 1 | x | λ a $w\left(x\right)\le {C}_{1}\vert x{\vert }_{\lambda }^{a}$
and
f ( x ) C 2 | x | λ b $f\left(x\right)\ge {C}_{2}\vert x{\vert }_{\lambda }^{b}$
for large | x | λ . Here, C i  ( i = 1, 2) are positive constants,
a , b R $a,b\in \mathbb{R}$
with b > ap , the functions
λ = ( λ 1 , λ 2 , , λ k ) : R N R k $\lambda =\left({\lambda }_{1},{\lambda }_{2},\dots ,{\lambda }_{k}\right) : {\mathbb{R}}^{N}\to {\mathbb{R}}^{k}$
satisfy some suitable conditions, and |⋅| λ the homogenous norm associated to the Δ λ -Laplacian. First, we establish Liouville results for stable weak solutions when p − 1 < q < q c , where q c is explicitly given. Next, we prove Liouville type theorems for finite Morse index solutions under some certain assumptions. The main tools we use are energy method and a Pohožaev type identity.
