Solvability of the Tricomi problem for second order equations of mixed type with degenerate curve on the sides of an angle

In [1]–[6], the author posed and discussed the Tricomi problem of second order mixed equations, but he only consider some special mixed equations. In [3], the author discussed the uniqueness of solutions of the Tricomi problem for some second order mixed equation with nonsmooth degenerate line. The present paper deals with the Tricomi problem for general second order mixed equations with degenerate curve on the sides of an angle. I first give the formulation of the above problem, and then prove the solvability of the Tricomi problem for the mixed equations with degenerate curve on the sides of an angle, by using the existence of solutions of the mixed problem for the degenerate elliptic equations (see [11]). Here I mention that the used method in this paper is different to those in other papers or books, because I introduce the new notation (2.1) below, such that the second order equation of mixed type can be reduced to the first order complex equation of mixed type with singular coefficients, hence I can use the advantage of complex analytic method.

On general boundary-value problems for nonlinear elliptic equations of second order in a multiply connected plane domain

This paper deals with some general irregular oblique derivative problems for nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations of second order in a multiply connected plane domain. Firstly, we state the well-posedness of a new set of modified boundary conditions. Secondly, we verify the existence of solutions of the modified boundary-value problem for harmonic functions, and then prove the solvability of the modified problem for nonlinear elliptic equations, which includes the original boundary-value problem (i.e. boundary conditions without involving undertermined functions data). Here, mainly, the location of the zeros of analytic functions, a priori estimates for solutions and the continuity method are used in deriving all these results. Furthermore, the present approach and setting seems to be new and different from what has been employed before.The research was partially supported by a UPGC Grant of Hong Kong.

Boundary value problems for two types of degenerate elliptic systems in R~4

Firstly, the Riemann boundary value problem for a kind of degenerate elliptic system of the first order equations in R~4 is proposed. Then, with the help of the one-to-one correspondence between the theory of Clifford valued generalized regular functions and that of the degenerate elliptic system's solution, the boundary value problem as stated above is transformed into a boundary value problem related to the generalized regular functions in Clifford analysis. Moreover, the solution of the Riemann boundary value problem for the degenerate elliptic system is explicitly described by using a kind of singular integral operator. Finally, the conditions for the existence of solutions of the oblique derivative problem for another kind of degenerate elliptic system of the first order equations in R~4 are derived.     

Conformally invariant fully nonlinear elliptic equations and isolated singularities

We study properties of solutions with isolated singularities to general conformally invariant fully nonlinear elliptic equations of second order. The properties being studied include radial symmetry and monotonicity of solutions in the punctured Euclidean space and the asymptotic behavior of solutions in a punctured ball. Some results apply to more general situations including more general fully nonlinear elliptic equations of second order, and some have been used in a companion paper to establish comparison principles and Liouville type theorems for degenerate elliptic equations.     

二维区域上椭圆均匀化问题的收敛率（英文）

In this paper, we study the convergence rates of solutions for second order elliptic equations with rapidly oscillating periodic coefficients in two-dimensional domain. We use an extension of the "mixed formulation" approach to obtain the representation formula satisfied by the oscillatory solution and homogenized solution by means of the particularity of solutions for equations in two-dimensional case. Then we utilize this formula in combination with the asymptotic estimates of Green or Neumann functions for operators and uniform regularity estimates of solutions to obtain convergence rates in L~p for solutions as well as gradient error estimates for Dirichlet or Neumann problems respectively.     

Degenerate elliptic boundary value problems

In this paper we find conditions that guarantee that regular boundary value problems for elliptic differential-operator equations of the second order in an interval are coercive and Fredholm, and we prove the compactness of a resolvent. We apply this result to find some algebraic conditions that guarantee that regular boundary value problems for degenerate elliptic differential equations of the second order in cylindrical domains have the same properties. Note that considered boundary value conditions are nonlocal and are differential only in their principal part, and a domain is nonsmooth.
