Liouville theorems for fractional and higher-order Hénon–Hardy systems on ℝⁿ

Abstract

In this paper, we are concerned with the Hénon–Hardy type systems on Rn: (−Δ)α2u(x)=|x|avp(x),u(x)≥0, x∈Rn,(−Δ)α2v(x)=|x|buq(x),v(x)≥0, x∈Rn, where n≥2, n>α, 0<α≤2 or α=2m. We prove Liouville theorems (i.e. non-existence of nontrivial nonnegative solutions) for the above Hénon–Hardy systems. The arguments used in our proof is the method of scaling spheres developed in [Dai W, Qin GLiouville type theorems for fractional and higher-order Hénon–Hardy type equations via the method of scaling spheres. preprint, submitted for publication, arXiv: 1810.02752.]. Our results generalize the Liouville theorems for single Hénon–Hardy equation on Rn in Bidaut-Véron and Pohozaev [Nonexistence results and estimates for some nonlinear elliptic problems.
