contents We study solutions to variable-coefficient elliptic equations of the form $-\D(A(x) \nabla u) = κu$, $κ>0$, in an exterior domain $\Om\subset \Rn$, where $A(x)$ is uniformly elliptic and asymptotically flat. Extending Rellich's classical $L^2$ result for the Laplacian, we show that if $u\in L^p(\Om)$ for some $0<p<\frac{2n}{n-1}$, then $u\equiv 0$. The proof uses new monotonicity formulas based on weighted energies and vector fields adapted to the geometry of $A(x)$. Our results highlight a sharper integrability threshold in the variable-coefficient setting.
