Abstract

Let $n, m$ be a positive integer and let $R_+^n$ be the $n$-dimensional upper half Euclidean space. In this paper, we study the following integral equation \begin{eqnarray} u(x)=\int_{R_+^n}G(x,y)u^pdy, \end{eqnarray} where \begin{eqnarray*} G(x,y)=\frac{C_n}{|x-y|^{n-2m}}\int_0^{\frac{4x_n y_n}{|x-y|^2}}\frac{z^{m-1}}{(z+1)^{n/2}}dz, \end{eqnarray*} $C_{n}$ is a positive constant, $0 <2m 1$. Using the method of moving planes in integral forms, we show that equation (1) has no positive solution.
