Asymptotic behavior of positive solutions of a nonlinear integral system (Q412653)

The properties of positive solutions of the system of integral equations \[ u(x) = \int\limits_{R^n} \frac{v^p(y) u^q(y)}{|x-y|^{n-\alpha}|y|^{-\sigma}}dy \] \[ v(x) = \int\limits_{R^n} \frac{v^q(y) u^p(y)}{|x-y|^{n-\alpha}|y|^{-\sigma}}dy \] are investigated. Here \(n \geq 3,\) \(\sigma \leq 0,\) \(\alpha+ \sigma > 0,\) \(n-\alpha + \sigma > 0,\) \(p > 0,\) \(q > 0\) and \(p+q = (n+\alpha + \sigma)/(n-\alpha - \sigma)\). The radial symmetry of positive solutions is proved. If \(\alpha + s\sigma \geq 0\) \((s=2n/(n-\alpha-\sigma))\) the authors prove that the solutions are bounded and converge to zero when \(|x| \to \infty\). The decay rates \[ \lim\limits_{|x| \to \infty} |x|^{n-\alpha} u(x) = \int\limits_{R^n} |y|^{\sigma} u^q(y) v^p(y) dy, \] \[ \lim\limits_{|x| \to \infty} |x|^{n-\alpha} v(x) = \int\limits_{R^n} |y|^{\sigma} u^p(y) v^q(y) dy \] of the solutions \(u, v\) are presented.
