Abstract

In this note, we show that in some cases, via the use of Hardy-type inequality, there is a non-trivial nonnegative \(W^{1,p}(R^n)\) weak solution to quasi-linear elliptic problem with the p-Laplacian on \(R^n\) and with Hardy-type singularity term. We also study the behavior of solutions to the Poisson equation of p-Laplacian on the whole space and this Poisson equation has a close relationship with the Gelfand-type equation.
