Liouville type results for systems of equations involving fractional Laplacian in exterior domains

摘要

In this article we present a simple and unified probabilistic approach to prove nonexistence of positive super-solutions for systems of equations involving potential terms and the fractional Laplacian in an exterior domain. Such problems arise in the analysis of a priori estimates of solutions. The class of problems we consider in this article is quite general compared to the literature. The main ingredient for our proofs is the hitting time estimates for the symmetric alpha-stable process and probabilistic representation of the super-solutions.
