Monotonicity and one-dimensional symmetry of solutions for the weighted fractional parabolic equations on the whole space

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the monotonicity and one-dimensional symmetry of solutions for parabolic equations related to the weighted fractional Laplacian on the whole space. We first establish a generalized weighted average inequality and the maximum principle in unbounded domains, and then carry out the sliding method to obtain monotonicity and one-dimensional symmetry of solutions.
