Abstract

Optimal pointwise estimates from above and below are obtained for iterated (poly)harmonic Green functions corresponding to zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. For second-order elliptic operators, these estimates hold true on bounded C1,1 domains. For higher-order elliptic operators we have to restrict ourselves to the polyharmonic operator on balls. We will also consider applications to non-cooperatively coupled elliptic systems and to the lifetime of conditioned Brownian motion.
