contents We prove a nonexistence result for nonnegative solutions of the quasi-linear elliptic inequality \[ -Δ_p u\ge u^σ \] on infinite locally finite connected weighted graphs, where $1<p<\infty$ and $σ>p-1$. Under the non-$p$-parabolic setting, we show that every nonnegative solution is identically zero, provided the weighted ball volumes $W_n=μ(B(o,n))$ satisfy \[ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{n^{\frac{pσ}{p-1}-1}} {W_n^{\frac{σ-p+1}{p-1}}} =\infty . \] This criterion recovers the known sharp pointwise critical volume-growth threshold and is strictly more flexible, since it allows irregular growth and does not require uniform upper bounds at every large radius. The proof adapts the finite-network current method to the $p$-Laplace setting, combining a path decomposition with one-dimensional Hardy estimates, $p$-parallel-sum bounds across metric cuts, and the global $p$-Green function furnished by non-$p$-parabolicity.

We prove a nonexistence result for nonnegative solutions of the quasi-linear elliptic inequality \[ -Δ_p u\ge u^σ \] on infinite locally finite connected weighted graphs, where $1<p<\infty$ and $σ>p-1$. Under the non-$p$-parabolic setting, we show that every nonnegative solution is identically zero, provided the weighted ball volumes $W_n=μ(B(o,n))$ satisfy \[ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{n^{\frac{pσ}{p-1}-1}} {W_n^{\frac{σ-p+1}{p-1}}} =\infty . \] This criterion recovers the known sharp pointwise critical volume-growth threshold and is strictly more flexible, since it allows irregular growth and does not require uniform upper bounds at every large radius.
