# Liouville type theorem to an integral system in the half-space

• In this paper, by using the moving plane method in integral forms, we establish a Liouville type theorem for a coupled integral system with Navier boundary values in the half-space. Furthermore, we prove that the Liouville type theorem is valid for the related differential system as well under an additional assumption by showing the equivalence between the involved differential and integral systems.
