    Let \(\mathbb{R}^n\) be the \(n\)-dimensional Euclidean space, and let \(\alpha\) be a real number satisfying \(0<\alpha<n\). In the present study, the authors study an integral equation of the form \[ u(x)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\frac{K(y)}{| x-y|^{n-\alpha}}\,(u(y))^p\,dy.\tag{1} \] They prove regularity, radial symmetry, and monotonicity of the solutions. They also consider the subcritical cases \(1<p<\alpha^*\), \(\alpha^*=\frac{n+\alpha}{n-\alpha}\), supercritical cases \(p>\alpha^*\), and singular solutions in all cases and obtain qualitative properties of these solutions.
