A convergence theory for the $hp$-FEM applied to a variety of constant-coefficient Helmholtz problems was pioneered in the papers [Melenk-Sauter, 2010], [Melenk-Sauter, 2011], [Esterhazy-Melenk, 2012], [Melenk-Parsania-Sauter, 2013]. This…

We prove H\"older continuity up to the boundary for solutions of quasi-linear degenerate elliptic problems in divergence form, not necessarily of variational type, on Lipschitz domains with Neumann and Robin boundary conditions. This…

The theory of second order complex coefficient operators of the form $\mathcal{L}=\mbox{div} A(x)\nabla$ has recently been developed under the assumption of $p$-ellipticity. In particular, if the matrix $A$ is $p$-elliptic, the solutions…

We consider second order divergence form elliptic operators with $W^{1,1}$ coefficients, in a uniform domain $\Omega$ with Ahlfors regular boundary. We show that the $A_\infty$ property of the elliptic measure associated to any such…

It is well known that, with a particular choice of norm, the classical double-layer potential operator $D$ has essential norm $<1/2$ as an operator on the natural trace space $H^{1/2}(\Gamma)$ whenever $\Gamma$ is the boundary of a bounded…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be bounded open and connected. Suppose that $W^{1,2}(\Omega) \subset L^r(\Omega)$ for some $r > 2$. Let $A$ be a pure second-order elliptic differential operator with bounded real measurable coefficients on…

For smooth bounded domains in $\mathbb{R}$, we prove upper and lower $L^2$ bounds on the boundary data of Neumann eigenfunctions, and prove quasi-orthogonality of this boundary data in a spectral window. The bounds are tight in the sense…

This work is about global H\"older regularity for solutions to elliptic partial differential equations subject to mixed boundary conditions on irregular domains. There are two main results. In the first, we show that if the domain of the…
