Maximum principles and Liouville theorems for fractional
Kirchhoff equations
Pengyan Wanga,*, Miaomiao Caib
ABSTRACT: In this paper, we consider the following nonlinear fractional Kirchhoff equation
a + b
Z
Rn
|(??)
s
2 u|
2
dx
(??)
s
u(x) = f (u(x)),
where 0 < s < 1, a > 0 and b ? 0. We first establish a maximum principle for anti-asymmetric functions on any
half space, and then obtain a Liouville theorem to the above nonlinear fractional Kirchhoff equations in the whole
space. In particular, we derive key ingredients for proving the symmetry and monotonicity of positive solutions to the
nonlinear fractional Kirchhoff equations, which indicate that fractional Kirchhoff De Giorgi conjecture is valid under
some conditions. We believe that the results obtained here can be conveniently applied to study a variety of properties
for solutions to fractional Kirchhoff equations.
