In this paper we study the Dirichlet problem for real-valued second order divergence form elliptic operators with boundary data in H\"{o}lder spaces. Our context is that of open sets $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n \ge 2$, satisfying…
We derive a priori second order estimates for solutions of a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations on Riemannian manifolds under some very general structure conditions. We treat both equations on closed manifolds, and the Dirichlet…
Let $R$ be a compact surface and let $\Gamma$ be a Jordan curve which separates $R$ into two connected components $\Sigma_1$ and $\Sigma_2$. A harmonic function $h_1$ on $\Sigma_1$ of bounded Dirichlet norm has boundary values $H$ in a…
Suppose $\Gamma$ is an arithmetic group defined over a global field $K$, that the $K$-type of $\Gamma$ is $A_n$ with $n \geq 2$, and that the ambient semisimple group that contains $\Gamma$ as a lattice has at least two noncocompact…
The Cahn-Hilliard system has been used to describe a wide number of phase separation processes, from co-polymer systems to lipid membranes. In this work the convergence properties of a closest-point based scheme is investigated. In place of…

The initial boundary value problem for a Cahn-Hilliard system subject to a dynamic boundary condition of Allen-Cahn type is treated. The vanishing of the surface diffusion on the dynamic boundary condition is the point of emphasis. By the…
We prove global second-order regularity for a class of quasilinear elliptic equations, both with homogeneous Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. A condition on the integrability of the second fundamental form on the boundary of the…

We study the d-dimensional Cahn-Hilliard equation on the flat torus in a parameter regime in which the system size is large and the mean value is close---but not too close---to -1. We are particularly interested in a quantitative…
In this paper we consider the Cahn-Hilliard equation endowed with Wentzell boundary condition which is a model of phase separation in a binary mixture contained in a bounded domain with permeable wall. Under the assumption that the…
