Abstract
In this paper, we consider the H\'enon problem in the setting of Orlicz-Sobolev spaces: \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\Delta_g u= |x|^\alpha h( u) \quad \text{in }B\\ u>0 \quad \text{in }B\\ u= 0 \quad \text{on }\partial B\\ \end{cases} \end{equation*}where is the unit ball in , , are N-functions and the operator is the -Laplacian. We show that the symmetric term , for , allows to have radial solutions even for supercritical , generalizing results for the classical H\'enon equation. We also show that radial solutions are indeed bounded. Finally, we state a Pohozaev's identity in Orlicz-Sobolev spaces that we apply to get a range in for which the problem has no bounded solutions.
