A typical case is the Hardy-H\\'{e}non type equations in exterior domains. We first derive the equivalence between \\eqref{GPDE0} and the corresponding integral equations \\begin{equation}\\label{GIE0} u(x)=\\int_{\\Omega_{r}}G_{\\alpha}(x,y)f(y,u(y))dy, \\end{equation} where $G_{\\alpha}(x,y)$ denotes the Green's function for $(-\\Delta)^{\\frac{\\alpha}{2}}$ in $\\Omega_{r}$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Then, we establish Liouville theorems for \\eqref{GIE0} via the method of scaling spheres developed in \\cite{DQ0} by Dai and Qin, and hence obtain the Liouville theorems for \\eqref{GPDE0}. Liouville theorems for integral equations related to higher order Navier problems in $\\Omega_{r}$ are also derived.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-01-02T15:20:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35B53", "35J30", "35J91" ], "keywords": [ "liouville type theorems", "exterior domains", "elliptic equations", "dirichlet conditions", "higher order navier problems" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
