We study Liouville theorems for the following polyharmonic Hénon-Lane-Emden system \(-Δ)m u · amp;= · amp; |x|avp in ℝn,
(-Δ)m v · amp;= · amp; |x|buq in ℝn,. when m,p,q ≥ 1, pq≠1, a,b≥0. The main conjecture states that (u,v)=(0,0) is the unique nonnegative solution of this system whenever (p,q) is \it under the critical Sobolev hyperbola, i.e. (n+a)/(p+1)+(n+b)/(q+1)>n-2m. We show that this is indeed the case in dimension n=2m+1 for bounded solutions. In particular, when a=b and p=q, this means that u=0 is the only nonnegative bounded solution of the polyharmonic Hénon equation (-Δ)m u= |x|aup in ℝn in dimension n=2m+1 provided p is the subcritical Sobolev exponent, i.e., 1
