Symmetry of integral equation systems with Bessel kernel on bounded domains (Q608403)

The authors study a system of higher order integral equations with a Bessel kernel and Dirichlet boundary conditions on a bounded \(C^1\) domain. Under some conditions on the coefficients the authors prove that if a positive solution exists and satisfies some integrability conditions, then the domain is a ball and such a solution is radially symmetric and monotonic decreasing. The techniques used to prove such result are the method of moving planes and the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality of the Bessel potential.
