The Lane–Emden and Hénon–Lane–Emden conjectures
What the paper claims, in its own words
Resolves the subcritical Lane–Emden conjecture and its weighted Hénon extension. For n ≥ 2, and real A, B, the system , has no positive entire solution when , with solutions continuous at the origin and classical elsewhere. No symmetry or growth assumption is needed. Known radial existence gives the exact existence criterion for n ≥ 3 and .
