We deals with nonlinear elliptic Dirichlet problems of the form \rm div(|D u|p-2D u )+f(u)=0 in Ω, u∈ H1,p0(Ω) where Ω is a bounded domain in ℝn, n≥ 2, p> 1 and f has supercritical growth from the viewpoint of Sobolev embedding. Our aim is to show that there exist bounded contractible non star-shaped domains Ω, arbitrarily close to domains with nontrivial topology, such that the problem does not have nontrivial solutions. For example, we prove that if n=2, 12p\over 2-p and Ω=\(ρcosθ,ρsinθ) : |θ|2p\over 2-p there exists s>0 such that the problem has only the trivial solution u≡ 0 for all α∈ (0,π) and s∈ (0, s).
