Abstract (Original language)
Résumé

We establish a Liouville comparison principle for entire sub- and super-solutions of the equation $(⁎)$ $w_{t} - Δ_{p} (w) = {| w |}^{q - 1} w$ in the half-space $S = R_{+}^{1} \times R^{n}$ , where $n ⩾ 1$ , $q > 0$ and $Δ_{p} (w) : = {div}_{x} ({| \nabla_{x} w |}^{p - 2} \nabla_{x} w)$ , $1 < p ⩽ 2$ . In our study we impose neither restrictions on the behaviour of entire sub- and super-solutions on the hyper-plane $t = 0$ , nor any growth conditions on their behaviour or on that of any of their partial derivatives at infinity. We prove that if $1 < q ⩽ p - 1 + \frac{p}{n}$ , and u and v are, respectively, an entire weak super-solution and an entire weak sub-solution of (⁎) in $S$ which belong, only locally in $S$ , to the corresponding Sobolev space and are such that $u ⩽ v$ , then $u \equiv v$ . The result is sharp. As direct corollaries we obtain both new and known Fujita-type and Liouville-type results.

Nous établissons un critère de comparaison de type de Liouville pour des sous- et super-solutions entières de lʼéquation $(⁎)$ $w_{t} - Δ_{p} (w) = {| w |}^{q - 1} w$ dans le demi-espace $S = R_{+}^{1} \times R^{n}$ , où $n ⩾ 1$ , $q > 0$ et $Δ_{p} (w) : = {div}_{x} ({| \nabla_{x} w |}^{p - 2} \nabla_{x} w)$ , $1 < p ⩽ 2$ . Dans notre étude, nous nʼimposons ni des restrictions sur le comportement des sous- ou super-solutions entières sur le hyper-plan $t = 0$ , ni des conditions de croissance sur le comportement à lʼinfini de ces solutions ou de leurs dérivées partielles. Nous démontrons que si $1 < q ⩽ p - 1 + \frac{p}{n}$ , et u et v constituent, respectivement, une super-solution faible entière et une sous-solution faible entière de (⁎) dans $S$ qui appartiennent, localement en $S$ , à lʼespace de Sobolev approprié, et qui sont telles que $u ⩽ v$ , alors $u \equiv v$ . Ce résultat est précis. Comme corollaires immédiats, nous obtenons des nouveaux résultats, ainsi que des résultats connus de type Fujita et Liouville.
