Conjecture on the pointwise decay of Euler–Lagrange solutions

Let dd be the dimension, let p0(d)p_0(d) be the exponent used in the generalized Euler–Lagrange equation, and let υ\upsilon be the weight

υ(x)=min(1,xd,xdx2d).\upsilon(x)=\min\big(1,|x'|^{-d},|x_d-|x'|^2|^{-d}\big).

Let λC\lambda\in\mathbb C and let fLp0(d)(Rd)f\in L^{p_0(d)}(\mathbb R^d) solve the generalized Euler–Lagrange equation. Decay conjecture. (i) There exists C=C(f,λ)<C=C(f,\lambda)<\infty such that, for almost every xRdx\in\mathbb R^d, f(x)Cυ(x)f(x)\leq C\upsilon(x). (ii) If λ>0\lambda>0, ff is nonnegative, and fp0(d)>0\|f\|_{p_0(d)}>0, then there exists c=c(f,λ)>0c=c(f,\lambda)>0 such that, for almost every xRdx\in\mathbb R^d, f(x)cυ(x)f(x)\geq c\upsilon(x). The conjecture describes the expected sharp pointwise behavior of extremizers or Euler–Lagrange solutions; the supplied text does not establish its status or provide a proof.
