The functions \(p\) and \(q\) are required to satisfy some appropriate conditions related to the Kato class \(K^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^n_+)\). Our approach is based on potential theory tools and the use of Schauder's fixed point theorem. KW - asymptotic behavior KW - elliptic system KW - regular equation SN - 1232-9274 ER -
