In this paper, we primarily consider the following semilinear elliptic equationwhere Ω is an exterior domain in R N with N 3, h : Ω × R + → R is a measurable function, and derive optimal nonexistence results of positive supersolution. Our argument is based on a nonexistence result of positive supersolution of a linear elliptic problem with Hardy potential. We also establish sharp nonexistence results of positive supersolution to an elliptic system.
