Abstract

We consider the following fractional Hénonsystem

$\left\{ \begin{array}{*{35}{l}} {}&{{(-\vartriangle )}^{\alpha /2}}u = |x{{|}^{a}}{{v}^{p}},~~&x\in {{R}^{n}}, \\ {}&{{(-\vartriangle )}^{\alpha /2}}v = |x{{|}^{b}}{{u}^{q}},~~&x\in {{R}^{n}}, \\ {}&u\ge 0,v\ge 0,&{} \\\end{array} \right.$

for $0<α<2$ and $a, b$ $≥0$, $n≥2$. Under rather weaker assumptions, by using a direct method of moving planes, we prove the nonexistence and symmetry of positive solutions in the subcritical case where $1<p<\frac{n+α+a}{n-α}$ and $1<q<\frac{n+α+b}{n-α}$.
