On the uniqueness of solutions of an nonlocal elliptic system

Analysis of PDEs 2014-03-11 v1

Abstract

We consider the following elliptic system with fractional laplacian (Δ)su=uv2,  (Δ)sv=vu2,  u,v>0 \mboxon Rn, -(-\Delta)^su=uv^2,\ \ -(-\Delta)^sv=vu^2,\ \ u,v>0 \ \mbox{on}\ \R^n, where s(0,1)s\in(0,1) and (Δ)s(-\Delta)^s is the ss-Lapalcian. We first prove that all positive solutions must have polynomial bound. Then we use the Almgren monotonicity formula to perform a blown-down analysis to ss-harmonic functions. Finally we use the method of moving planes to prove the uniqueness of the one dimensional profile, up to translation and scaling.
