A monotonicity formula and Liouville-type theorems for stable solutions of the weighted elliptic system (Q513031)

In this paper the author proves Liouville-type theorems for stable solutions (positive or sign-changing) of weighted elliptic systems of the form \[ -\Delta u = |x|^{\beta}v^{\vartheta} \;\;\text{ in } \Omega, \] \[ -\Delta v=|x|^{\alpha}|u|^{p-1}u \;\;\text{ in } \Omega, \] where \(\Omega\) is a subset of \(\mathbb{R}^N, N\geq 5\), \(\alpha>-4\), \(0\leq\beta <N-4\) and \(p\vartheta>1\). The key ingredients of this paper are an application of the Pohozaev identity to construct a monotonicity formula, and a blow-down procedure, which allow the author to examine the nonexistence of classical stable solutions to the system above. The first main result of the paper states that if \(N\) is in a certain interval depending on \(\alpha, \beta\) and \(p\), if \(u\in W^{2,2}_{\text{loc}}(\mathbb{R}^N\setminus \{0\})\) is a homogeneous, stable solution of the system above with \(|x|^{\alpha}|u|^{p+1}\in L^1_{\text{loc}}(\mathbb{R}^N\setminus\{0\})\) and \(|x|^{-\beta}|\Delta u|^2\in L^1_{\text{loc}}(\mathbb{R}^N\setminus\{0\})\), then \(u\equiv 0\). The second main result states that if \(u\in C^4(\mathbb{R}^N)\) is a stable solution of the system in question in \(\mathbb{R}^N\), with \(N\) in a certain interval depending on \(\alpha,\beta\), and \(p\), then \(u\equiv 0\).
