Maximum Principles for Boundary-Degenerate Second Order Linear Elliptic Differential Operators

We prove weak and strong maximum principles, including a Hopf lemma, for C ² subsolutions to equations defined by linear, second-order, linear, elliptic partial differential operators whose principal symbols vanish along a portion of the domain boundary. The boundary regularity property of the C ² subsolutions along this boundary vanishing locus ensures that these maximum principles hold irrespective of the sign of the Fichera function. Boundary conditions need only be prescribed on the complement in the domain boundary of the principal symbol's vanishing locus. We obtain uniqueness and a priori maximum principle estimates for C ² solutions to boundary value and obstacle problems defined by these boundary-degenerate elliptic operators with partial Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. We also prove weak maximum principles and uniqueness for W ^{1, 2} solutions to the corresponding variational equations and inequalities defined with the aide of weighted Sobolev spaces. The domain is allowed to be unbounded when the operator coefficients and solutions obey certain growth conditions.     

Large Critical Exponents for Some Second Order Uniformly Elliptic Operators

In this paper we investigate the critical exponents of two families of Pucci's extremal operators. The notion of critical exponent that we have chosen for these fully nonlinear operators which are not variational is that of threshold between existence and nonexistence of the solutions for semilinear equations with pure power nonlinearities. Interesting new exponents appear in this context.

Perturbation Theory for Solutions to Second Order Elliptic Operators with Complex Coefficients and the L p Dirichlet Problem

We establish a Dahlberg-type perturbation theorem for second order divergence form elliptic operators with complex coefficients. In our previous paper, we showed the following result: If L_0 = div A~0(x)? + B~0(x) · ? is a p-elliptic operator satisfying the assumptions of Theorem 1.1 then the LpDirichlet problem for the operator L_0 is solvable in the upper half-space Rn+. In this paper we prove that the Lpsolvability is stable under small perturbations of L_0. That is if L_1 is another divergence form elliptic operator with complex coefficients and the coefficients of the operators L_0 and L_1 are sufficiently close in the sense of Carleson measures, then the LpDirichlet problem for the operator L_1 is solvable for the same value of p. As a corollary we obtain a new result on Lpsolvability of the Dirichlet problem for operators of the form L = div A(x)? + B(x) · ? where the matrix A satisfies weaker Carleson condition(expressed in term of oscillation of coefficients). In particular the coefficients of A need no longer be differentiable and instead satisfy a Carleson condition that controls the oscillation of the matrix A over Whitney boxes. This result in the real case has been established by Dindoˇs,Petermichl and Pipher.     

Nonlinear Degenerate Oblique Boundary Value Problems for Second Order Fully Nonlinear Elliptic Equations

In this paper we study the existence theorem for solution of the nonlinear degenerate oblique boundary value problems for second order fully nonlinear elliptic equations F(x, u, Du, D²u) = 0 \quad x ∈ Ω, G(x, u, D, u) = 0, \qquad x ∈ ∂Ω where F (x, z, p, r) satisfies the natural structure conditions, G (x, z, q) satisfies G_q ≥ 0, G_x ≤ - G_0 < 0 and some structure conditions, vector τ is nowhere tangential to ∂Ω. This result extends the works of Lieberman G. M., Trudinger N. S. [2], Zhu Rujln [1] and Wang Feng [6].

The Commutator of the Kato Square Root for Second Order Elliptic Operators on R~n

Let L=-div(A?) be a second order divergence form elliptic operator,and A be an accretive,n×n matrix with bounded measurable complex coefficients in R~n.We obtain the L~p bounds for the commutator generated by the Kato square root L~(1/2) and a Lipschitz function,which recovers a previous result of Calderón,by a different method.In this work,we develop a new theory for the commutators associated to elliptic operators with Lipschitz function.The theory of the commutator with Lipschitz function is distinguished from the analogous elliptic operator theory.

Existence of Viscosity Solutions of Second Order Fully Nonlinear Elliptic Equations

We consider the problem of existence for viscosity solutions of seoond order fully nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations F(D²u, Du, u, z) = 0. We prove existence results for viscosity solutions in W^{1,∞} under assumptions that function F satisfies the natural structure conditions. We do not assume F is convex.     

Kato Class Potentials for Higher Order Elliptic Operators

Our goal in this paper is to determine conditions on a potentialV which ensure that an operator such as H:=(–)^m+V (1) acting on L²(R^N) defines a semigroup in L^p(R^N) for various valuesof p including p=1. The operator is defined as a quadratic formsum. That is, we put for (all integrals are on R^N and are with respect to Lebesgue measure), and note thatthe closure of the form is non-negative and has domain equalto the Sobolev space W^m,2. We then assume that the potentialhas quadratic form bound less than 1 with respect to Q₀, anddefine This form is closed and is associated with a semibounded self-adjointoperator H in L² (see [17, p. 348; 5, Theorem 4.23]). One canthen ask whether the semigroup e^–Ht defined on L² fort0 is extendable to a strongly continuous one-parameter semigroupon L^p for other values of p, and if so whether one can describethe domain and spectrum of its generator.

Applications of the Differential Calculus to Nonlinear Elliptic Operators with Discontinuous Coefficients

The paper concerns Dirichlet’s problem for second order quasilinear non-divergence form elliptic equations with discontinuous coefficients. We start with suitable structure, growth, and regularity conditions ensuring solvability of the problem under consideration. Fixing then a solution u ₀ such that the linearized at u ₀ problem is non-degenerate, we apply the Implicit Function Theorem. As a result we get that for all small perturbations of the coefficients there exists exactly one solution u ≈ u ₀ which depends smoothly (in W ^2,p with p larger than the space dimension) on the data. For that, no structure and growth conditions are needed and the perturbations of the coefficients can be general L ^∞-functions of the space variable x. Moreover, we show that the Newton Iteration Procedure can be applied in order to obtain a sequence of approximate (in W ^2,p ) solutions for u ₀.
