Asymptotics of Green functions and Martin boundaries for elliptic operators with periodic coefficients. (Q1416456)

The main purpose of this paper is to establish the asymptotics at infinity of Green functions for elliptic equations with periodic coefficients on \(\mathbb{R}^n\). The motivation of this study comes from the work of Agmon, Pinsky, and Schroeder. The description of the full Martin boundary and the Martin compactification has remained an open problem. The secondary purpose of the paper is to determine the Martin compactification completely using the aforementioned asymptotics.
