Abstract: The Picone-type identity for the half-linear second order partial differential equation
\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{\partial}{\partial x_i} \Phi\bigg(\frac{\partial u}{\partial x_i}\bigg)+c(x)\Phi(u)=0,\quad\Phi(u):=|u|^{p-2}u, p>1,
is established and some applications of this identity are suggested.

Keywords: Picone's identity, half-linear PDE, $p$-Laplacian, variational technique

Classification (MSC 2000): 35J20
