For an elliptic, semilinear differential operator of the form $S(u) = A : D^2 u + b(x, u , Du)$, consider the functional $E_\infty(u) = \mathop{\mathrm{ess \, sup}}_\Omega |S(u)|$. We study minimisers of $E_\infty$ for prescribed boundary…

We give examples of composition operators $C\_\Phi$ on $H^2 (\D^2)$ showing that the condition $\|\Phi \|\_\infty = 1$ is not sufficient for their approximation numbers $a\_n (C\_\Phi)$ to satisfy $\lim\_{n \to \infty} [a\_n (C\_\Phi)…
