Keywords:
quasi-linear elliptic equations; non-existence; large solution; small solution
Summary:
We obtain a non-existence result for a class of quasi-linear eigenvalue problems when a parameter is small. By using Pohozaev identity and some comparison arguments, non-existence theorems are established for quasi-linear eigenvalue problems under supercritical growth condition.
