Abstract: 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 Deltau+Wcdotablau=0 in mathbfR2, where W is real vector and |W|Lp(mathbfR2)leK for 2lep<infty. Assume that |u|Linfty(mathbfR2)leC0 and satisfies certain a priori assumption at 0. Then u satisfies the following asymptotic estimates at Rgg1 [ inf_{|z_0|=R}sup_{|z-z_0|<1}|u(z)|ge exp(-C_1R^{1-2/p}log R)quad ext{if}quad 2<p<infty ] and [ inf_{|z_0|=R}sup_{|z-z_0|<1}|u(z)|ge R^{-C_2}quad ext{if}quad 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.
