Abstract

The authors of this paper study positive supersolutions to the elliptic equation $-\Delta U=c|x|^{-s}u^p$ in Cone-like domains of $\mathbb{R}^N$ ($N\ge 2$), where $p,s\in\mathbb{R}$ and $c>0$. They prove that in the sublinear case $p<1$ there exists a critical exponent $p_\ast<1$ such that the equation has a positive supersolution if and only if $-\infty<p<p_\ast$. The value of $p_\ast$ is determined explicitly by $s$ and the geometry of the cone.
