In this paper, we first establish decay estimates for the fractional and higher-order fractional Hénon-Lane-Emden systems by using a nonlocal average and integral estimates, which deduce a result of non-existence. Next, we apply the method of scaling spheres introduced in [16] to derive a Liouville type theorem. We also construct an interesting example on super $ \frac{\alpha}{2} $-harmonic functions (Proposition 1.2).

Keywords: Fractional Laplacians, Hénon-Lane-Emden systems, decay estimates, higher-order fractional Laplacians, Liouville type theorems.
