Abstract

This note shows that under (p,α,N)(1,)×(0,2)×Z+(p,\alpha, N)\in (1,\infty)\times(0,2)\times\mathbb Z_+ the fractional order differential inequality ()up(Δ)α2uinRN (\dagger)\quad u^p \le (-\Delta)^{\frac{\alpha}{2}} u\quad\hbox{in}\quad\mathbb R^{N} has the property that if NαN\le\alpha then a nonnegative solution to ()(\dagger) is unique, and if N>αN>\alpha then the uniqueness of a nonnegative weak solution to ()(\dagger) occurs when and only when pN/(Nα)p\le N/(N-\alpha), thereby innovatively generalizing Gidas-Spruck's result for up+Δu0u^p+\Delta u\le 0 in RN\R^N discovered in \cite{GS}.
