In this paper, we study higher-order Hardy-Hénon elliptic systems with weights. We first prove a new theorem on regularities of the positive solutions at the origin, then study equivalence between the higher-order Hardy-Hénon elliptic system and a proper integral system, and we obtain a new and interesting Liouville-type theorem by methods of moving planes and moving spheres for integral system. We also use this Liouville-type theorem to prove the Hénon-Lane-Emden conjecture for polyharmonic system under some conditions.

Keywords: Liouville-type theorem, higher-order elliptic system, Hénon-Lane-Emden conjecture, methods of moving planes, methods of moving spheres, integral system.
