The non-existence results for a class of integral equation (Q2437985)

The authors consider the following integral system \[ u(x,b) = \int_{\mathbb R^n} \frac{u^q(y,b)}{(b+|x-y|)^\lambda}dy, \tag{1} \] which is related to the weak type convolution-Young's inequality. Under the assumption of \(\lambda \in (0,n)\) and \(0<q \leq n/\lambda\), they show that the system (1) does not have a positive solution in \(L^q_{loc}(\mathbb R^n)\). Furthermore, they prove that as \(\lambda \in (0,n-1/3)\) and \(q = 2n/\lambda-1\), the system (1) does not admit a positive solution in \(L^{q+1}(R^n)\) \((n > 2)\), which implies that the maximizing pair of the weak type convolution-Young's inequality with kernel function \((b+|x|)^{-\lambda}\) does not exist. Meanwhile, for \(\lambda \in (-\infty, 0)\) and \(q=2n/\lambda-1\), they also show that the system (1) does not admit a nonnegative Lebesgue measurable solution. This is distinct from the original conformal invariant integral system.
