The linear second-order elliptic differential equation
with real-valued coefficients that are entire functions on $\Im^2$
and whose coefficient $c(x, y) \leq 0$ on the disk $D : x^2+y^2\leq1$
is given by
$\Delta^2 v+a(x,y)v_x + b(x,y)v_y+c(x,y)v=0, (x,y)\in E^2$.
The ideas of Bernstein and Saff have been applied by McCoy [9,
10] to study the singularities of certain second-order elliptic equations
with singular coefficients. These results contain calculations
of order and type of entire function potentials in terms
of best polynomial approximation errors. Here some inequalities
concerning order and type for the given equation have been
obtained.
