Hénon–Lane–Emden conjecture for the subcritical weighted system

From papers

Let N2N\geq 2, p,q>0p,q>0, and a,bRa,b\in\mathbb{R}. Consider the Hénon–Lane–Emden system

{Δu=xavp1vΔv=xbuq1uin RN{0}.\left\{ \begin{aligned} -\Delta u&=|x|^a|v|^{p-1}v \\ -\Delta v&=|x|^b|u|^{q-1}u \end{aligned} \quad\text{in }\mathbb{R}^N\setminus\{0\}. \right.

The quadruple (p,q,a,b)(p,q,a,b) is subcritical when

N+ap+1+N+bq+1>N2.\frac{N+a}{p+1}+\frac{N+b}{q+1}>N-2.

Hénon–Lane–Emden conjecture. If (p,q,a,b)(p,q,a,b) is subcritical, then the system admits no positive solutions in (C2(RN{0})C(RN))2\left(C^2(\mathbb{R}^N\setminus\{0\})\cap C(\mathbb{R}^N)\right)^2.

The conjecture concerns a weighted generalization of the Lane–Emden nonexistence problem. The source provides no resolution status for this weighted conjecture; the paper establishes it only under additional hypotheses for stable solutions outside a compact set.
