In this paper, we examine regularity issues for two damped abstract elastic systems; the damping and coupling involve fractional powers $\mu, \theta$, with $0 \leq \mu , \theta \leq 1$, of the principal operators. The matrix defining the…
We study a class of second-order boundary-degenerate elliptic equations in two dimensions with minimal regularity assumptions. We prove a maximum principle and a Harnack inequality at the degenerate boundary, and assuming local boundedness,…
This paper pursues a twofold goal. First, we introduce and study in detail a new notion of variational analysis called generalized metric subregularity, which is a far-going extension of the conventional metric subregularity conditions. Our…
Tougeron's implicit function theorem and Hensel's lemma are well known representatives concerning 2k-approximation/k-nondegeneracy implying existence of solutions with identity of order k. This note aims to extend this principle to…

Dual continuation, an innovative insight into extending the real-valued functions of real matrices to the dual-valued functions of dual matrices with a foundation of the G\^ateaux derivative, is proposed. Theoretically, the general forms of…
We analyze a (possibly degenerate) second order mean field games system of partial differential equations. The distinguishing features of the model considered are (1) that it is not uniformly parabolic, including the first order case as a…
