In this paper, we study the existence and multiplicity of solutions for the following fractional problem involving the Hardy potential and concave-convex nonlinearities: $$({-}{ \Delta})^{\frac{\alpha}{2}}u- \gamma \frac{u}{|x|^{\alpha}}=…
We show that for an $L^2$ drift $b$ in two dimensions, if the Hardy norm of $\text{div }b$ is small, then the weak solutions to $\Delta u+b\cdot\nabla u=0$ have the same optimal H\"older regularity as in the case of divergence-free drift,…
It is well known that a weak solution $\varphi$ to the initial boundary value problem for the uniformly parabolic equation $\partial_t\varphi-\mbox{div}(A\nabla \varphi) +\omega\varphi= f $ in $\Omega_T\equiv\Omega\times(0,T)$ satisfies the…

Assume that $p > 1$ and $p - 1 \le \alpha \le p$ are real numbers and $\Omega$ is a non-empty open subset of ${\mathbb R}^n$, $n \ge 2$. We consider the inequality $$ {\rm div} \, A (x, D u) + b (x) |D u|^\alpha \ge 0, $$ where $D =…
Alexandrov's estimate states that if $\Omega$ is a bounded open convex domain in ${\mathbb R}^n$ and $u:\bar \Omega\to {\mathbb R}$ is a convex solution of the Monge-Ampere equation $\det D^2 u = f$ that vanishes on $\partial \Omega$, then…
