Abstract

In this paper, we prove the Liouville type theorem for stable \(W_{\mathrm{loc}}^{1, p}\) solutions of the weighted quasilinear problem

$$ -\operatorname{div}\left (w_{1}(x)\left (s^{2}+|\nabla u|^{2} \right )^{\frac{{p - 2}}{2}}\nabla u\right )=w_{2}(x)f(u)\quad \text{in}~ \mathbb{R}^{N}, $$

where \(s \geq 0\) is a real number, \(f(u)\) is either \(e^{u}\) or \(-e^{\frac{1}{u}}\) and \(w_{1} (x),w_{2} (x) \in L_{\text{loc}}^{1} \left (\mathbb{R}^{N} \right )\) be nonnegative functions so that \(w_{1} (x) \leq C_{1}|x|^{m}\) and \(w_{2} (x) \geq C_{2}|x|^{n}\) when \(|x|\) is big enough. Here we need \(n>m\).
