We show that two classically known properties of positive supersolutions of uniformly elliptic PDEs, the boundary point principle (Hopf lemma) and global integrability, can be quantified with respect to each other. We obtain an extension to…
We give full boundary extensions to two fundamental estimates in the theory of elliptic PDE, the weak Harnack inequality and the quantitative strong maximum principle, for uniformly elliptic equations in non-divergence form.
We obtain a global extension of the classical weak Harnack inequality which extends and quantifies the Hopf-Oleinik boundary-point lemma, for uniformly elliptic equations in divergence form. Among the consequences is a boundary gradient…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^N$, $N \geq 2$, be a smooth bounded domain. We consider a boundary value problem of the form $$-\Delta u = c_{\lambda}(x) u + \mu(x) |\nabla u|^2 + h(x), \quad u \in H^1_0(\Omega)\cap L^{\infty}(\Omega)$$ where…
We prove non-uniqueness and study the behaviour of viscosity solutions of a class of uniformly elliptic fully nonlinear equations of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-Isaacs type, with quadratic growth in the gradient. The crucial a priori bound for…
We reduce the problem of proving decay estimates for viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear PDEs to proving analogous estimates for solutions of one-dimensional ordinary differential inequalities. Our machinery allow the ellipticity to…
In this paper we study elliptic equations with a nonlinear conormal derivative boundary condition involving nonstandard growth terms. By means of the localization method and De Giorgi's iteration technique we derive global a priori bounds…
In this paper we find out some new blow-up estimates for the positive explosive solutions of a paradigmatic class of elliptic boundary value problems of superlinear indefinite type. These estimates are obtained by combining the scaling…
We develop a new, unified approach to the following two classical questions on elliptic PDE: the strong maximum principle for equations with non-Lipschitz nonlinearities, and the at most exponential decay of solutions in the whole space or…
The purpose of this paper is to prove local upper and lower bounds for weak solutions of semilinear elliptic equations of the form $-\Delta u= c u^p$, with $0<p<p_s=(d+2)/(d-2)$, defined on bounded domains of $\RR^d$, $d\ge 3$, without…
We extend some classical results dealing with boundary Harnack inequatilities to a class of quasilinear elliptic equations and derive some new estimates for solutions of such equations with an isolated singularity on the boundary of a…
In this paper we obtain a Harnack type inequality for solutions to elliptic equations in divergence form with non-standard $p(x)-$type growth. A model equation is the inhomogeneous $p(x)-$laplacian. Namely, \[…
We study the critical points of the solution of second elliptic equations in divergence and diagonal form with a bounded and positive definite coefficient, under the assumption that the statement of the Hopf lemma holds (sign assumptions on…
We give a Hopf boundary point lemma for weak solutions of linear divergence form uniformly elliptic equations, with H$\ddot{\text{o}}$lder continuous top-order coefficients and lower-order coefficients in a Morrey space.
We study a class of mixed local and nonlocal $p$-Laplace equations with prototype \[ -\Delta_p u + (-\Delta_p)^s u = f \quad \text{in } \Omega, \] where $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is bounded and open. We provide sufficient condition on…
