# Asymptotic behavior for solutions of some integral equations

• In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of the positive solutions of the following system of Euler-Lagrange equations of the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev type in $R^n$

$u(x) = \frac{1}{|x|^{\alpha}}\int_{R^n} \frac{v(y)^q}{|y|^{\beta}|x-y|^{\lambda}} dy$,

$v(x) = \frac{1}{|x|^{\beta}}\int_{R^n} \frac{u(y)^p}{|y|^{\alpha}|x-y|^{\lambda}}dy.$

We obtain the growth rate of the solutions around the origin and the decay rate near infinity. Some new cases beyond the work of C. Li and J. Lim [17] are studied here. In particular, we remove some technical restrictions of [17], and thus complete the study of the asymptotic behavior of the solutions for non-negative $\alpha$ and $\beta$.
