Asymptotic behavior of solutions to elliptic equations in 2D exterior domains

Analysis of PDEs 2026-05-14 v3

Abstract

The asymptotic behavior of solutions to the second order elliptic equations in exterior domains is studied. In particular, under the assumption that the solution belongs to the Lorentz space Lp,qL^{p,q} or the weak Lebesgue space Lp,L^{p,\infty} with certain conditions on the coefficients, we give natural and an almost sharp pointwise estimate of the solution at spacial infinity. The proof is based on the argument by Korobkov--Pileckas--Russo [4], in which the decay property of the solution to the vorticity equation of the two-dimensional Navier--Stokes equations was studied.
