Abstract

We investigate here the following weighted degenerate elliptic system \begin{align*} -\Delta_{s} u = \Big(1+\|\mathbf{x}\|^{2(s+1)}\Big)^{\frac{\alpha}{2(s+1)}} v^p, \quad -\Delta_{s} v = \Big(1+\|\mathbf{x}\|^{2(s+1)}\Big)^{\frac{\alpha}{2(s+1)}}u^\theta, \quad u,v>0\quad\mbox{in }\; \mathbb{R}^N:=\mathbb{R}^{N_1}\times \mathbb{R}^{N_2}. \end{align*} where Δs=Δx+x2sΔy,\Delta_{s}=\Delta_{x}+|x|^{2s}\Delta_{y}, is the Grushin operator, s0,s \geq 0, α0\alpha \geq 0 and 1<pθ.1<p\leq\theta. Here x=(x2(s+1)+y2)12(s+1),  \mboxand    x:=(x,y)RN:=RN1×RN2.\|\mathbf{x}\|=\Big(|x|^{2(s+1)}+|y|^2\Big)^{\frac{1}{2(s+1)}}, \;\mbox{and}\;\; \mathbf{x}:=(x, y)\in \mathbb{R}^N:=\mathbb{R}^{N_1}\times \mathbb{R}^{N_2}. In particular, we establish some new Liouville-type theorems for stable solutions of the system, which recover and considerably improve upon the known results \cite{cow, Hfh, HU, Fa, DP}. As a consequence, we obtain a nonexistence result for the weighted Grushin equation \begin{align*} -\Delta_{s} u =\Big(1+\|\mathbf{x}\|^{2(s+1)}\Big)^{\frac{\alpha}{2(s+1)}} u^p,\;\; \quad u>0 \quad \mbox{in }\;\; \mathbb{R}^N. \end{align*}
