This paper is concerned with the quantitative homogenization of $2m$-order elliptic systems with bounded measurable, rapidly oscillating periodic coefficients. We establish the sharp $O(\varepsilon)$ convergence rate in $W^{m-1, p_0}$ with…

We establish a global weighted $L^p$ estimate for the gradient of the solution to a divergence-form elliptic equations, where the coefficients are in a weighted VMO space and the equations have singularities on a co-dimension two boundary.

We consider the comparison principle for semicontinuous viscosity sub- and supersolutions of second order elliptic equations on the form $F(D^2 w,x) = 0$. A structural condition on the operator is presented that seems to unify the different…

The $C^{1,1}$ estimate of the Dirichlet problem for degenerate $k$-Hessian equations with non-homogenous boundary conditions is an open problem, if the right hand side function $f$ is only assumed to satisfy $f^{1/(k-1)} \in C^{1,1}$. In…

In 1995, D. Jerison and C. Kenig in \cite{JK-1995} considered the the inhomogeneous Dirichlet problem $\Delta u= f$ on $\Omega$, $u=0$ on $\partial\Omega$ in Lipschitz domains. One of their main results shows that the $W^{1,p}$ estimate…
