On filtered manifolds one can define a different notion of order for the differential operators. In this paper, we use generalized fixed point algebras to construct a pseudodifferential extension that reflects this behaviour. In the…
This paper investigates the Dirichlet problem for a non-divergence form elliptic operator $L$ in a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^d$. Under certain conditions on the coefficients of $L$, we first establish the existence of a unique Green's…

It is shown that an elliptic scattering operator $A$ on a compact manifold with boundary with coefficients in the bounded operators of a bundle of Banach spaces of class (HT) and Pisier's property $(\alpha)$ has maximal regularity (up to a…
We study energy functionals associated with quasi-linear Schr\"odinger operators on infinite graphs, and develop characterisations of (sub-)criticality via Green's functions, harmonic functions of minimal growth and capacities. We proof a…
An operator satisfies the Global Comparison Property if anytime a function touches another from above at some point, then the operator preserves the ordering at the point of contact. This is characteristic of degenerate elliptic operators,…
We show that an elliptic uniform pseudodifferential operator over a manifold of bounded geometry defines a class in uniform K-homology, and that this class only depends on the principal symbol of the operator.
We consider special classes of linear bounded operators in Banach spaces and suggest certain operator variant of symbolic calculus. It permits to formulate an index theorem and to describe Fredholm properties of elliptic pseudo-differential…
Let $P$ be a linear, second-order, elliptic operator with real coefficients defined on a noncompact Riemannian manifold $M$ and satisfies $P1=0$ in $M$. Assume further that $P$ admits a minimal positive Green function in $M$. We prove that…
