Abstract

In this paper, we consider α\alpha-harmonic functions in the half space R+n\mathbb{R}^n_+: \begin{equation} \left\{\begin{array}{ll} (-\Delta)^{\alpha/2} u(x)=0,~u(x)>0, & x\in\mathbb{R}^n_+, \\ u(x)\equiv 0, & x\notin \mathbb{R}^{n}_{+}. \end{array}\right. \end{equation} We prove that all the solutions have to assume the form \begin{equation} u(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}Cx_n^{\alpha/2}, & \qquad x\in\mathbb{R}^n_+, \\ 0, & \qquad x\notin\mathbb{R}^{n}_{+}, \end{array}\right. \label{2} \end{equation} for some positive constant CC.
