We extend several well-known tools from the theory of second-order divergence-form elliptic equations to the case of higher-order equations. These tools are the Caccioppoli inequality, Meyers's reverse Holder inequality for gradients, and…

A high-order numerical method is developed for solving the Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes equations with the Flory-Huggins potential. The scheme is based on the $Q_k$ finite element with mass lumping on rectangular grids, the second-order…
This paper investigates the Dirichlet problem for a non-divergence form elliptic operator $L$ in a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^d$. Under certain conditions on the coefficients of $L$, we first establish the existence of a unique Green's…
The aim of this article is to study a Cahn-Hilliard model for a multicomponent mixture with cross-diffusion effects, degenerate mobility and where only one of the species does separate from the others. We define a notion of weak solution…
