Potentials play an important role in solving boundary value problems for elliptic equations. In the middle of the last century, a potential theory was constructed for a two-dimensional elliptic equation with one singular coefficient. In the…

This thesis is divided into five chapters. The aim is the study of the effectiveness of a chemical as defined by R. Aris for semilinear elliptic equations. The first chapter focuses on homogenization on quasilinear diffusion-reaction…

We consider an elliptic differential operator $A_\varepsilon = - \frac{d}{dx} g(x/\varepsilon) \frac{d}{dx} + \varepsilon^{-2} V(x/\varepsilon)$, $\varepsilon > 0$, with periodic coefficients acting in $L_2(\mathbb{R})$. For the…

We give examples of systems of Partial Differential Equations that admit non-trivial, Lipschitz and one-homogeneous solutions in the form $u(R,\theta) = Rg(\theta)$, where $(R,\theta)$ are plane polar coordinates and $g: \mathbb{R}^{2} \to…

We consider a possibly multiply connected bounded open subset $\Omega$ of ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ of class $C^{\max\{1,m\},\alpha}$ for some $m\in {\mathbb{N}}$, $\alpha\in]0,1[$ and we plan to solve both the Dirichlet and the Neumann problem for…

We propose a methodology for the homogenization of periodic elastic lattices that covers the case of unstable lattices, having affine (macroscopic) or periodic (microscopic) mechanisms. The singular cell problems that are encountered when a…

Let $\Omega\subset R^n$ be a bounded convex domain with $n\ge2$. Suppose that $A$ is uniformly elliptic and belongs to $W^{1,n}$ when $n\ge 3$ or $W^{1,q}$ for some $q>2$ when $n=2$. For $1<p<\infty$, we build up a global second order…

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…

In this paper we study, in an open bounded set $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^N$ with Lipschitz boundary $\partial\Omega$, the Dirichlet problem for a nonlinear singular elliptic equation involving the $1$--Laplacian and a total variation term,…

This paper is concerned with uniform measure estimates for nodal sets of solutions in elliptic homogenization. We consider a family of second-order elliptic operators $\{ \mathcal{L}_\e\}$ in divergence form with rapidly oscillating and…

We establish $L^p$ solvability of the Dirichlet problem, for some finite $p$, in a 1-sided chord-arc domain $\Omega$ (i.e., a uniform domain with Ahlfors-David regular boundary), for elliptic equations of the form \[ Lu=-\text{div}(A\nabla…

We develop new solvability methods for divergence form second order, real and complex, elliptic systems above Lipschitz graphs, with $L_2$ boundary data. The coefficients $A$ may depend on all variables, but are assumed to be close to…

Numerical multiscale methods usually rely on some coupling between a macroscopic and a microscopic model. The macroscopic model is incomplete as effective quantities, such as the homogenized material coefficients or fluxes, are missing in…

This paper studies a new gradient regularity in Lorentz spaces for solutions to a class of quasilinear divergence form elliptic equations with nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions: \begin{align*} \begin{cases} div(A(x,\nabla u)) &=…

In this paper, we provide a new means of establishing solvability of the Dirichlet problem on Lipschitz domains, with measurable data, for second order elliptic, non-symmetric divergence form operators. We show that a certain optimal…
