Regularity for elliptic equations with monomial weights

Analysis of PDEs 2025-11-21 v1

Abstract

We study regularity properties for solutions to elliptic equations that are degenerate or singular along orthogonal hyperplanes. The degenerate ellipticity is carried out by a weight term which is the monomial product of different powers of the distance functions to each hyperplane; that is, given the space dimension d2d\geq2, the number of orthogonally crossing hyperplanes 1nd1\leq n\leq d and the generic variable point z=(x,y)Rdn×Rnz=(x,y)\in\mathbb R^{d-n}\times\mathbb R^n, then the weight is given by ω(y)=i=1nyiai\omega(y)=\prod_{i=1}^ny_i^{a_i} with ai>1a_i>-1, yi=dist(z,Σi)y_i=\mathrm{dist}(z,\Sigma_i) and Σi={yi=0}\Sigma_i=\{y_i=0\}. We prove C0,αC^{0,\alpha} and C1,αC^{1,\alpha} estimates up to the corners formed by the intersections of two or more hyperplanes, for solutions of the conormal problem with variable coefficients. This is done by a regularization-approximation procedure, a blow-up argument and Liouville theorems. Finally, we provide smoothness of solutions when the equation is isotropic and homogeneous, and we show an application to Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities with monomial weights.
