Abstract

In this paper,we are concerned with the following Hardy-Sobolev type system

where 0 < α < n,0 < t1,t2 < min{α,k},and 1 < pτ1:=(n+α-2t1)/n-α,1 < qτ2:=(n+α-α2t2)/n-α. We first establish the equivalence of classical and weak solutions between PDE system (0.1) and the following integral equations (IE) system

where Gα(x,ξ)=(cn,α)/|x-ξ|n-α is the Green's function of (-△)α)/2 in Rn.Then,by the method of moving planes in the integral forms,in the critical case p=τ1 and q=τ2,we prove that each pair of nonnegative solutions (u,v) of (0.1) is radially symmetric and monotone decreasing about the origin in Rk and some point z0 in Rn-k.In the subcritical case (n-t1)/p+1 + (n-t2)/q+1 > n-α, 1 < pτ1 and 1 < qτ2,we derive the nonexistence of nontrivial nonnegative solutions for (0.1)
