Liouville theorems for p-Laplacian equations in convex cones without finite-energy condition

We study the anisotropic Finsler $p$-Laplacian equation \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{aligned} &-\Delta ^{H}_{p}u=f(u) \quad\,\,\, &{\rm{in}} \,\, \mathcal{C}, &{\bf{a}}(\nabla u)\cdot \nu =0 \quad\,\,\, &{\rm{on}} \,\, \partial\mathcal{C}, \end{aligned} \right. \end{equation*} where $N\geq3$, $1<p<N$, $\mathcal{C}\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{N}$ is an open convex cone and $\Delta ^{H}_{p}$ is the anisotropic Finsler $p$-Laplacian operator. If $f(u)$ is nonnegative and subcritical, we prove that every bounded nonnegative solution in $\mathcal{C}$ is identically zero. In particular, for $f(u)=u^{q}$ with $0<q<p^*-1$, we establish a pointwise decay estimate in $\mathcal{C}$ via the doubling argument and blowing-up method and prove that all nonnegative solutions must be zero without the boundedness assumption. Our results are the subcritical counterpart of the classification result for the critical case in \cite{CFR}, and extend the Liouville type theorems in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$ for the standard $p$-Laplacian in \cite{SZ} and for the anisotropic $p$-Laplacian in \cite{CFV, CHN} to general convex cones $\mathcal{C}$. In the critical case $f(u)=u^{p^*-1} $ and typical case $H(\xi)=|\xi|$, for $\frac{N+1}{3}<p<N$, we classified the positive solutions of the critical $p$-Laplacian equation in convex cones $\mathcal{C}$ without finite-energy assumption. This extends the classification result of \cite{Ou} in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$ to general convex cones $\mathcal{C}$, and removes the finite-energy assumption in \cite{CFR} in the typical case $H(\xi)=|\xi|$.
