Abstract

We are concerned with Liouville-type results of stable solutions and finite Morse index solutions for the following nonlinear elliptic equation with Hardy potential: \begin{displaymath} \Delta u+\dfrac{\mu}{|x|^2}u+|x|^l |u|^{p-1}u=0 \qquad \textrm{in}\ \ \Omega, \end{displaymath} where Ω=\RN\Omega=\RN, \RN{0}\RN\setminus\{0\} for N3N\geq3, p>1p>1, l>2l>-2 and μ<(N2)2/4\mu<(N-2)^2/4. Our results depend crucially on a new critical exponent p=pc(l,μ)p=p_c(l,\mu) and the parameter μ\mu in Hardy term. We prove that there exist no nontrivial stable solution and finite Morse index solution for 1<p<pc(l,μ)1<p<p_c(l,\mu). We also observe a range of the exponent pp larger than pc(l,μ)p_c(l,\mu) satisfying that our equation admits a positive radial stable solution.

Comments

The results were unchanged. We added Bae's results to inform the originality of Figures 1,2, some notations, and related theorems in this paper. We also compared this paper with Du-Guo's recent result. And we simplified the paper
