Abstract

We deal with nonlinear elliptic Dirichlet problems of the form

where is a bounded domain in , , and has supercritical growth from the viewpoint of Sobolev embedding. Our aim is to show that there exist bounded contractible non star-shaped domains , arbitrarily close to domains with nontrivial topology, such that the problem does not have nontrivial solutions. For example, we prove that if , , with and with and , then for all there exists such that the problem has only the trivial solution for all and .
