The non-existence of nonnegative compactly supported classical solutions to - ΔV(x) - |x|σV(x) + \fracV1/m(x)m-1 = 0, x∈ℝN, with m>1, σ>0, and N≥ 1, is proven for σ sufficiently large. More precisely, in dimension N≥4, the optimal lower bound on σ for non-existence is identified, namely σ≥σc := (2(m-1)(N-1))/(3m+1), while, in dimensions N∈\1,2,3\, the lower bound derived on σ improves previous ones already established in the literature. A by-product of this result is the non-existence of nonnegative compactly supported separate variable solutions to a porous equation medium equation with spatially dependent superlinear source.
