Master equations with indefinite nonlinearities

In this paper, we consider the following indefinite fully fractional heat equation involving the master operator \begin{equation} (\partial_t -Δ)^{s} u(x,t) = x_1u^p(x,t)\ \ \mbox{in}\ \R^n\times\R , \end{equation} where $s\in(0,1)$, and $-\infty < p < \infty$. Under mild conditions, we prove that there is no positive bounded solutions. To this end, we first show that the solutions are strictly increasing along $x_1$ direction by employing the direct method of moving planes. Then by constructing an unbounded sub-solution, we derive the nonexistence of bounded solutions. To circumvent the difficulties caused by the fully fractional master operator, we introduced some new ideas and novel approaches that, as we believe, will become useful tool in studying a variety of other fractional elliptic and parabolic problems.
