چکیده
In this paper we derive quantitative uniqueness estimates at infinity for solutions to an elliptic equation with unbounded drift in the plane. More precisely, let u be a real solution to ∆u + W · ∇u = 0 in R2, where W is real vector and ‖W‖Lp(R2) ≤ K for 2 ≤ p <∞. Assume that ‖u‖L∞(R2) ≤ C0 and satisfies certain a priori assumption at 0. Then u satisfies the following asymptotic estimates at R 1 inf |z0|=R sup |z−z0|<1 |u(z)| ≥ exp(−C1R logR) if 2 < p <∞ and inf |z0|=R sup |z−z0|<1 |u(z)| ≥ R−C2 if p = 2, where C1 > 0 depends on p,K,C0, while C2 > 0 depends on K,C0 . Using the scaling argument in [BK05], these quantitative estimates are easy consequences of estimates of the maximal vanishing order for solutions of the local problem. The estimate of the maximal vanishing order is a quantitative form of the strong unique continuation property.

Quantitative uniqueness estimates for the general second order elliptic equations
In this paper we study quantitative uniqueness estimates of solutions to general second order elliptic equations with magnetic and electric potentials. We derive lower bounds of decay rate at infinity for any nontrivial solution under some general assumptions. The lower bounds depend on asymptotic behaviors of magnetic and electric potentials. The proof is carried out by the Carleman method and...
متن کاملHarnack Inequalities and ABP Estimates for Nonlinear Second-Order Elliptic Equations in Unbounded Domains
In this paper we are concerned with fully nonlinear uniformy elliptic operators with a superlinear gradient term. We look for local estimates, such as weak Harnack inequality and local Maximum Principle, and their extension up to the boundary. As applications, we deduce ABP type estimates and weak Maximum Principles in general unbounded domains, a strong Maximum principle and a Liouville type t...

متن کاملInterior Regularity of Fully Nonlinear Degenerate Elliptic Equations I: Bellman Equations with Constant Coefficients
This is the first of a series of papers on the interior regularity of fully nonlinear degenerate elliptic equations of second order. We consider here a stochastic optimal control problem in a domain, in which the diffusion coefficients, drift coefficients and discount factor are independent of the spatial variables. Under appropriate assumptions, for k = 0, 1, when the terminal and running payo...
متن کاملGlobal Optimal Regularity for the Parabolic Polyharmonic Equations
Regularity theory in PDE plays an important role in the development of second-order elliptic and parabolic equations. Classical regularity estimates for elliptic and parabolic equations consist of Schauder estimates, L estimates, De Giorgi-Nash estimates, KrylovSafonov estimates, and so on. L and Schauder estimates, which play important roles in the theory of partial differential equations, are...
