We continue to study regularity results for weak solutions of the large class of second order degenerate quasilinear equations of the form \begin{eqnarray} \text{div}\big(A(x,u,\nabla u)\big) = B(x,u,\nabla u)\text{ for }x\in\Omega\nonumber…

We obtain Liouville type theorems for degenerate elliptic equation with a drift term and a potential. The diffusion is driven by H\"ormander operators. We show that the conditions imposed on the coefficients of the operator are optimal.…

We investigate existence and regularity of weak solutions of a 1-dimensional parabolic differential equation with a non-constant H\"older diffusion coefficient and a rough forcing term. Such an equation appears in studying the 1-dimensional…
