For a second order formally symmetric elliptic differential expression we show that the knowledge of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map or Robin-to-Dirichlet map for suitably many energies on an arbitrarily small open subset of the boundary…

We obtain an explicit H\"older regularity result for viscosity solutions of a class of second order fully nonlinear equations leaded by operator that are neither convex/concave nor uniformly elliptic.

Unbounded operators corresponding to nonlocal elliptic problems on a bounded region $G\subset\mathbb R^2$ are considered. The domain of these operators consists of functions from the Sobolev space $W_2^m(G)$ being generalized solutions of…

Let $n\ge2$ and $\mathcal{L}=-\mathrm{div}(A\nabla\cdot)$ be an elliptic operator on $\mathbb{R}^n$. Given an exterior Lipschitz domain $\Omega$, let $\mathcal{L}_D$ be the elliptic operator $\mathcal{L}$ on $\Omega$ subject to the…

The operator function (A,B)\to\tr f(A,B)(K^*)K, defined on pairs of bounded self-adjoint operators in the domain of a function f of two real variables, is convex for every Hilbert Schmidt operator K, if and only if f is operator convex. As…

A second-order regularity theory is developed for solutions to a class of quasilinear elliptic equations in divergence form, including the $p$-Laplace equation, with merely square-integrable right-hand side. Our results amount to the…

We study the boundary behaviour of solutions to second order parabolic linear equations in moving domains. Our main result is a higher order boundary Harnack inequality in $C^1$ and $C^{k,\alpha}$ domains, providing that the quotient of two…

We prove an abstract theorem of maximal hypoellipticy showing that in an abstract calculus under some natural assumptions, an operator is maximally hypoelliptic if and only if its principal symbol is left invertible. We then show that our…

The paper provides an explicit description of the structure of the domain of the Friedrichs extension of a second order semibounded elliptic wedge operator, initially defined on smooth functions or sections with compact support away from…

Higher extensions and higher central extensions, which are of importance to non-abelian homological algebra, are studied, and some fundamental properties are proven. As an application, a direct proof of the invariance of the higher Hopf…

For a $C^*$-algebra $A$ of compact operators and a compact manifold $M,$ we prove that the Hodge theory holds for $A$-elliptic complexes of pseudodifferential operators acting on smooth sections of finitely generated projective $A$-Hilbert…

Given a domain above a Lipschitz graph, we establish solvability results for strongly elliptic second-order systems in divergence-form, allowed to have lower-order (drift) terms, with $L^p$-boundary data for $p$ near $2$ (more precisely, in…

In this work we consider higher dimensional thin domains with the property that both boundaries, bottom and top, present oscillations of weak type. We consider the Laplace operator with Neumann boundary conditions and analyze the behavior…

We show that the elliptic equation with a non-Lipschitz right-hand side, $-\Delta u = \lambda |u|^{\beta-1}u - |u|^{\alpha-1}u$ with $\lambda>0$ and $0<\alpha<\beta<1$, considered on a smooth star-shaped domain $\Omega$ subject to zero…

We give sharp $C^{2,\alpha}$ estimates for solutions of some fully nonlinear elliptic and parabolic equations in complex geometry and almost complex geometry, assuming a bound on the Laplacian of the solution. We also prove the analogous…

The aim of this paper is to present a detailed and slightly modified version of the proof of the Lempert Theorem in the case of non-planar stronlgy linearly convex domains with C^2 smooth boundaries. The original Lempert's proof is…

The theory of second order complex coefficient operators of the form $\mathcal{L}=\mbox{div} A(x)\nabla$ has recently been developed under the assumption of $p$-ellipticity. In particular, if the matrix $A$ is $p$-elliptic, the solutions…

The necessity of a Maximum Principle arises naturally when one is interested in the study of qualitative properties of solutions to partial differential equations. In general, to ensure the validity of these kind of principles one has to…
