Abstract

In this article, we consider the fractional Laplacian equation
where 0 < α < 2, R+n:={x=(x1, x2,…, xn)|xn > 0}. When K is strictly decreasing with respect to|x'|, the symmetry of positive solutions is proved, where x'=(x1, x2, …, xn-1) ∈ Rn-1. When K is strictly increasing with respect to xn or only depend on xn, the nonexistence of positive solutions is obtained.
