We prove the Kato square root estimate for second-order divergence form elliptic operators $-div(A\nabla)$ on a bounded, locally uniform domain $D \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$, for accretive coefficients $A \in L^\infty(D; \mathbb{C}^n)$, under…
The $p$-Laplacian operator $\Delta_pu={\rm div }\left(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u\right)$ is not uniformly elliptic for any $p\in(1,2)\cup(2,\infty)$ and degenerates even more when $p\to \infty$ or $p\to 1$. In those two cases the Dirichlet…
For $d\geq 2$ and $\frac{2d+2}{d+2} < p < \infty $, we prove a strict Faber-Krahn type inequality for the first eigenvalue $\lambda _1(\Omega )$ of the $p$-Laplace operator on a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ (with…
