We prove that if u is a weak solution to a constant coefficient system (with strong ellipticity assumed along the horizontal direction) in a Carnot group (no restriction on the step), then u is actually smooth. We then use this result to…

In two dimensions every weak solution to a nonlinear elliptic system $\rm{div} a(x,u,Du)=0$ has H\"older continuous first derivatives provided that standard continuity, ellipticity and growth assumptions hold with a growth exponent $p \geq…

We establish a Liouville-type theorem for nonnegative weak supersolutions to $\mathcal{L}_K u = u^q$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, where $\mathcal{L}_K$ is a translation-invariant integro-differential operator of order $2s$ with $s \in (0,1)$. The…

Smooth hypoellipticity for scalar equations is quite well understood presently. On the other hand, much remains to be done for systems and/or at different levels of regularity and in particular for $L^1$-hypoellipticity. In this article we…

It is known that an elliptic system $\{P_j(x,D)\}_1^N$ of order $l$ is weakly coercive in $\overset{\circ}{W}\rule{0pt}{2mm}^l_\infty(\mathbb R^n)$, that is, all differential monomials of order $\le l-1$ on $C_0^\infty(\mathbb…

We consider quasilinear elliptic systems in divergence form. In general, we cannot expect that weak solutions are locally bounded because of De Giorgi's counterexample. Here we assume a condition on the support of off-diagonal coefficients…
