The nonexistence of positive solutions is discussed for $-\Delta_p u = a(x) u^{q-1}$ in $\Omega$, $u|_{\partial\Omega}= 0$, for the case where $a(x)$ is a bounded positive function and $\Omega$ is a strip-like domain such as $\Omega = \Omega_d \times \mathcal{R}^{N-d}$ with $\Omega_d$ bounded in $\mathcal{R}^{d}$. The existence of nontrivial solution of (E) is proved by Schindler for $q \in (p, p*)$ where $p*$ is Sobolev's critical exponent. Our method of proofs for nonexistence rely on the "Pohozaev-type inequality" (for $q \ge p*$); and on a new argument concerning the simplicity of the first eigenvalue for (generalized) eigenvalue problems combined with translation invariance of the domain (for $q \le p$).
