Abstract

In this paper we prove a sufficient condition, in terms of the behavior of a ground state of a singular p-Laplacian problem with a potential term, such that a nonzero subsolution of another such problem is also a ground state. Unlike in the linear case (), this condition involves comparison of both the functions and of their gradients.
