We establish a Liouville theorem of stable solution of the degenerate equation mentioned above by using the energy method. The classification results for stable solutions belonging to <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msup><mi>C</mi><mn>2</mn></msup></semantics></math></inline-formula> can be thought of as an analogue of the recent results of Farina for the Lane–Emden equation.
