A Liouville theorem for $α$-harmonic functions in $\mathbb{R}^n_+$ (1409.4106v1)

Abstract: In this paper, we consider $\alpha$-harmonic functions in the half space $\mathbb{R}^n_+$: \begin{equation} \left{\begin{array}{ll} (-\Delta)^{\alpha/2} u(x)=0,~u(x)>0, & x\in\mathbb{R}^n_+, \ u(x)\equiv 0, & x\notin \mathbb{R}^{n}_{+}. \end{array}\right. \end{equation} We prove that all the solutions have to assume the form \begin{equation} u(x)=\left{\begin{array}{ll}Cx_n^{\alpha/2}, & \qquad x\in\mathbb{R}^n_+, \ 0, & \qquad x\notin\mathbb{R}^{n}_{+}, \end{array}\right. \label{2} \end{equation} for some positive constant $C$.
