Summary:
In the paper the differential inequality $\Delta _p u+B(x,u)\le 0,$ where $\Delta _p u=\div (\Vert \nabla u\Vert ^{p-2}\nabla u)$, $p>1$, $B(x,u)\in C(\mathbb{R}^{n}\times \mathbb{R},\mathbb{R})$ is studied. Sufficient conditions on the function $B(x,u)$ are established, which guarantee nonexistence of an eventually positive solution. The generalized Riccati transformation is the main tool.
