This paper is concerned with qualitative properties of solutions to nonlocal reaction–diffusion equations of the form∫ R N ∖ K J ( x − y )( u ( y ) − u ( x ) )d y + f ( u ( x ) ) = 0 , x ∈ R N ∖ K ,set in a perforated open setR N ∖ K , where K ⊂ R Nis a bounded compact ‘obstacle’ and f is a bistable nonlinearity. When K is convex, we prove some Liouville‐type results for solutions satisfying some asymptotic limiting conditions at infinity. We also establish a robustness result, assuming slightly relaxed conditions on K .
