Abstract

We use blow up analysis for local integral equations to provide a blow up rates of solutions of higher order Hardy–Hénon equation in a bounded domain with an isolated singularity, and show the asymptotic radial symmetry of the solutions near the singularity. This work generalizes the correspondence results of Jin–Xiong (in, Asymptotic symmetry and local behavior of solutions of higher order conformally invariant equations with isolated singularities. arXiv:1901.01678) on higher order conformally invariant equations with an isolated singularity.
