Abstract

We establish a sharp integral nonexistence criterion for the Lane--Emden system of inequalities Δuvp,Δvuq,p,q>0,pq>1, -\Delta u\ge v^p,\qquad -\Delta v\ge u^q, \qquad p,q>0,\quad pq>1, on arbitrary infinite, connected, locally finite weighted graphs. In the asymmetric case pqp\ne q, set P=max{p,q}P=\max\{p,q\}. If, for some root oVo\in V, n=2n2pq+2P1μ(B(o,n))pq1=, \sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{n^{2pq+2P-1}}{\mu(B(o,n))^{pq-1}}=\infty, then every nonnegative solution (u,v)(u,v) satisfies uv0u\equiv v\equiv0. The proof combines flow decomposition of the finite Green current with nonlinear testing. In the symmetric case p=q>1p=q>1, the Liouville problem reduces, via the sum u+vu+v, to the scalar criterion n=2n2p1μ(B(o,n))p1=. \sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{n^{2p-1}}{\mu(B(o,n))^{p-1}}=\infty. Weighted half-line examples show that the critical logarithmic endpoint in the asymmetric result is sharp.
