In 1963, Littman, Stampacchia, and Weinberger proved a mean value theorem for elliptic operators in divergence form with bounded measurable coefficients. In the Fermi lectures in 1998, Caffarelli stated a much simpler mean value theorem for…
We give background which shows the connection between the mean value theorem and the obstacle problem, and then we prove that a set is a mean value set for an elliptic operator of the form $Lu := \partial_i (a^{ij}(x) \partial_j u(x))$ if…
The Gaussian curvature of a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold is uniquely determined by the choice of the metric. The formulas for computing the curvature in terms of components of the metric, in isothermal coordinates, involve the…

We present some new ideas to derive {\em a priori} second order estiamtes for a wide class of fully nonlinear parabolic equations. Our methods, which produce new existence results for the initial-boundary value problems in $\bfR^n$, are…
In this paper, we are concerned with the first initial boundary value problem for a class of fully nonlinear parabolic equations on Riemannian manifolds. As usual, the establishment of the a priori C^2 estimates is our main part. Based on…
We prove a new mean-value theorem for Dirichlet polynomials with coefficients given by the von Mangoldt function. We then use our theorem to derive new estimates for certain exponential sums over primes. The latter have applications to…
We obtain new mean value theorems for exponential sums with very smooth numbers, which provide a power saving against the trivial bound in region where previous bounds do not apply.
A well studied classical problem is the harmonicity of functions satisfying the restricted mean-value property (RMVP). While this has so far been studied mainly for domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$, we consider this problem in the general setting…
In this note, we study the prescribed mean curvature equation with Neumann boundary conditions on Riemannian product manifold $ M^n\times \mathbb{R}$. The main goal is to establish the boundary gradient estimates for solutions by the…
