Abstract

We describe a method for obtaining estimates at infinity for eigenfunctions of integral operators of certain classes in unbounded domains of $ R^n$. We consider integral operators $ K$ whose kernels $ k(x,y)$ can be written in the form $ k(x,y)=a(x)k_0(x,y)b(y)$, $ (x,y)ınØmega\timesØmega$, where $ k_0(x,y)\vertłeþeta(x-y)e^-S(x-y)$ for some functions $ þeta$ and $ S$ satisfying certain natural additional conditions. We show that if the operator $ T=I-K$ with the corresponding kernel is Noetherian in $ L_p(Ømega)$ and the coefficients $ a(x)$, $ b(y)$ satisfy certain conditions, then the solutions of $ \varphi=K\varphi$ belong to the weighted space $ L_p(Ømega, e^S(x))$. The method is applied to obtain exponential estimates for eigenfunctions of $ N$-particle Schrödinger operators and estimates of decay at infinity for the solutions of convolution-type equations with variable coefficients.
