This paper is concerned with the qualitative properties of the solutions of mixed integro-differential equation
$\begin{equation}\left\{ \begin{array}{l} (-\Delta)_x^{α} u+(-\Delta)_y u+u = f(u) \ \ \ \ {\rm in}\ \ {\mathbb{R}}^N×{\mathbb{R}}^M,\\ u>0\ \ {\rm{in}}\ {\mathbb{R}}^N\times{\mathbb{R}}^M,\ \ \ \lim_{|(x,y)|\to+\infty}u(x,y) = 0, \end{array} \right.\;\;\;\left( {0.1} \right)\end{equation}$
with
$N≥ 1$
,
$M≥ 1$
 and
$α∈ (0,1)$
. We study decay and symmetry properties of the solutions to this equation. Difficulties arise due to the mixed character of the integro-differential operators. Here, a crucial role is played by a version of the Hopf's Lemma we prove in our setting. In studying the decay, we construct appropriate super and sub solutions and we use the moving planes method to prove the symmetry properties.
Keywords: Integro-differential equation, Hopf's Lemma, decay, symmetry.
