Asymptotic expansions for singular solutions of conformal Q-curvature equations (Q2135525)

The authors consider the following conformally invariant equation of fourth order \[ \begin{cases} \Delta^2 u=e^u&\text{in }B\backslash\{0\},\\ \int_{B\backslash\{0\}}e^{u(x)}\,dx<\infty \end{cases}\tag{1} \] where \(B=\{x\in \mathbb{R}^4: |x|<1\}\). The authors establish asymptotic expansions at an isolated singular point of solutions to the \(Q\)-curvature equation (1). Furthermore, they derive the asymptotic behavior near an isolated singularity of conformally flat metrics \(g_w = e^{2w}|dx|^2\) with constant positive \(Q\)-curvature, where \(|dx|^2\) is the Euclidean metric. They also obtain the asymptotic expansions at \(|x|\rightarrow\infty\) of solutions \(u\in C^4(\mathbb{R}^4\backslash{\overline B})\) to the problem \[ \begin{cases} \Delta^2 u=e^u\quad\mbox{in}\,\,\mathbb{R}^4\backslash{\overline B},\\ \int_{\mathbb{R}^4\backslash{\overline B}}e^{u(x)}\,dx<\infty. \end{cases} \]
