Abstract

Given a smooth function K(x)K(x) satisfying a polynomially cone condition and xK0x\cdot\nabla K\leq 0, we prove that there is no solution uC(R2)u\in C^\infty(\mathbb{R}^2) of the equation Δu=K(x)e2uon  R2-\Delta u=K(x)e^{2u}\quad \mathrm{on}\;\mathbb{R}^2 with uCu\leq C and R2K(x)e2udx<+\int_{\mathbb{R}^2}|K(x)|e^{2u}d x<+\infty. As a consequence, there is no such solution if K(x)K(x) is a non-constant polynomial with xK0x\cdot\nabla K\leq 0. The latter result already includes a result of Struwe(JEMS 2020) as a particular case. Higher order cases are set up with additional assumption on the behavior of Δu\Delta u near infinity.
