Abstract

In this article our main concern is to prove the quantitative unique estimates for the pp-Laplace equation, 1<p<1<p<\infty, with a locally Lipschitz drift in the plane. To be more precise, let uWloc1,p(R2)u\in W^{1,p}_{loc}(\mathbb{R}^2) be a nontrivial weak solution to div(up2u)+W(up2u)=0  in  R2, \text{div}(|\nabla u|^{p-2} \nabla u) + W\cdot(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u) = 0 \ \text{ in }\ \mathbb{R}^2, where WW is a locally Lipschitz real vector satisfying WLq(R2)M~\|W\|_{L^q(\mathbb{R}^2)}\leq \tilde{M} for qmax{p,2}q\geq \max\{p,2\}. Assume that uu satisfies certain a priori assumption at 0. For q>max{p,2}q>\max\{p,2\} or q=p>2q=p>2, if uL(R2)C0\|u\|_{L^\infty(\mathbb{R}^2)}\leq C_0, then uu satisfies the following asymptotic estimates at R1R\gg 1 infz0=Rsupzz0<1u(z)eCR12qlogR, \inf_{|z_0|=R}\sup_{|z-z_0|<1} |u(z)| \geq e^{-CR^{1-\frac{2}{q}}\log R}, where CC depends only on pp, qq, M~\tilde{M} and C0C_0. When q=max{p,2}q=\max\{p,2\} and p(1,2]p\in (1,2], under similar assumptions, we have infz0=Rsupzz0<1u(z)RC, \inf_{|z_0|=R} \sup_{|z-z_0|<1} |u(z)| \geq R^{-C}, where CC depends only on pp, M~\tilde{M} and C0C_0. As an immediate consequence, we obtain the strong unique continuation principle (SUCP) for nontrivial solutions of this equation. We also prove the SUCP for the weighted pp-Laplace equation with a locally positive locally Lipschitz weight.
