We introduce the basic concepts related to subharmonic functions and potentials, mainly for the case of the complex plane and prove the Riesz decomposition theorem. Beyond the elementary facts of the theory we deviate slightly from the…
Point-to-point reflection holding for harmonic functions subject to the Dirichlet or Neumann conditions on an analytic curve in the plane almost always fails for solutions to more general elliptic equations. We develop a non-local,…
We study the boundary continuity of solutions to fully nonlinear elliptic equations. We first define a capacity for operators in non-divergence form and derive several capacitary estimates. Secondly, we formulate the Wiener criterion, which…
We study whether the solutions of a fully nonlinear, uniformly parabolic equation with superquadratic growth in the gradient satisfy initial and homogeneous boundary conditions in the classical sense, a problem we refer to as the classical…

We present a waveform relaxation version of the Dirichlet-Neumann method for parabolic problem. Like the Dirichlet-Neumann method for steady problems, the method is based on a non-overlapping spatial domain decomposition, and the iteration…

We study a parabolic initial-boundary-value problem for a system of two differential equations with two boundary conditions of different orders, the Dirichlet and Neumann ones. It occurs specifically in the heat-mass transfer theory. We…
This paper establishes a Wiener criterion at $\infty$ to characterise the unique solvability of the Dirichlet problem for degenerate elliptic equations with power-like weights in arbitrary open sets. In the measure-theoretical context, the…
This paper continues the analysis, started in [2, 3], of a class of degenerate elliptic operators defined on manifolds with corners, which arise in Population Biology. Using techniques pioneered by J. Moser, and extended and refined by L.…

We extend the theory of viscosity solutions to treat scalar-valued doubly-nonlinear evolution equations. Such equations arise naturally in many mechanical models including a dry friction. After providing a suitable definition for…
We probe the application of the calculus of conormal distributions, in particular the Pull-Back and Push-Forward Theorems, to the method of layer potentials to solve the Dirichlet and Neumann problems on half-spaces. We obtain full…
About thirty years ago we looked for "minimal assumptions" on the data which guarantee that solutions to the $\,2-D\,$ evolution Euler equations in a bounded domain are classical. Classical means here that all the derivatives appearing in…
