Phragmén-Lindelöf decay theorems for classes of nonlinear Dirichlet problems in a circular cylinder (Q1079730)

In the domain \(D=\{(x_ 1,x_ 2,x_ 3)|\) \(x^ 2_ 1+x^ 2_ 2<1,0<x_ 3<2L\}\), \(L=1/h\), the equation \[ (1)\quad u_{,kk}=P_{ij}(u)u_{,jj}+R_{ij}(u)u_{,i}u_{,j} \] is considered, where \(P_{ij}=p_{ij}(hu)\), \(R_{ij}=r_{ij}(hu)\), \(p_{ij},r_{ij}\) are smooth functions such that \(| p_{ij}^{(\nu)}| \leq K/h^{\nu},| r_{ij}^{(\nu)}| \leq K/h^{\nu}\), \(\nu =0,...,4\). If u is the solution of (1) such that \(u=0\) on the part of the boundary of D where \(x^ 2_ 1+x^ 2_ 2=1\), \(0<x_ 3<2L\) and \(| u| \leq 1/a\), \(a>1\), \(| u_{,k}| \leq 1\), then for any sufficiently large a there exists \(k=k(K)\) such that \[ | u(x_ 1,x_ 2,x_ 3)| \leq \sqrt{e} [\sup_{D} | u|]^{-kx_ 3},\quad 0<x_ 3<L. \]
