Hé non-Lane-Emden conjecture for the polyharmonic system

Let m,p,q1m,p,q\geq 1, pq1pq\neq 1, and a,b0a,b\geq 0. For nonnegative functions u,vu,v on Rn\mathbb{R}^n, consider

{(Δ)mu=xavpinRn,(Δ)mv=xbuqinRn.\left\{\begin{array}{lcl} (-\Delta)^m u=|x|^a v^p &\text{in}& \mathbb{R}^n,\\ (-\Delta)^m v=|x|^b u^q &\text{in}& \mathbb{R}^n. \end{array}\right.

The pair (p,q)(p,q) is under the critical hyperbola when

n+ap+1+n+bq+1>n2m.\frac{n+a}{p+1}+\frac{n+b}{q+1}>n-2m.

Hé non-Lane-Emden conjecture. If (u,v)(u,v) is a nonnegative solution of the system and (p,q)(p,q) is under the critical hyperbola, then u=v=0u=v=0. This is a Liouville-type conjecture for the weighted polyharmonic system. The supplied text states that it holds for bounded solutions in dimension n=2m+1n=2m+1 and for radial solutions in arbitrary dimensions, while the general nonradial case remains open.
