We extend several well-known tools from the theory of second-order divergence-form elliptic equations to the case of higher-order equations. These tools are the Caccioppoli inequality, Meyers's reverse Holder inequality for gradients, and…

Let $M$ be an $n(>2)$-dimensional closed orientable submanifold in an $(n+p)$-dimensional space form $\mathbb{R}^{n+p}(c)$. We obtain an optimal upper bound for the second eigenvalue of a class of elliptic operators on $M$ defined by…

We prove a Liouville type classification theorem in half-spaces for infinite boundary value problems related to fully nonlinear, uniformly elliptic operators. We then apply the result in order to obtain gradient boundary blow up rates for…

Given a bounded domain in the Euclidean space satisfying the uniform outer cone condition, we show that a uniformly elliptic operator of second order with continuous second order coefficients generates a holomorphic semigroup on the space…

Maximal Orders over an algebra are a generalization of the concept of a Dedekind domain. The definition given in Maximal Orders by Reiner, assumes that the field over which the algebra is defined is in the center of the order. Since we want…

Let $1 < p < \infty$ and let $\Omega$ be an open and bounded set of $\mathbb R^n$. We establish classical Korn inequalities \[ \inf_{\substack{v \in L^p(\Omega)\\\mathcal A v = 0}} \|u - v\|_{W^{k,p}(\Omega)} \le C \| \mathcal A…

We show that H\"older continuity of the gradient is not only a sufficient condition, but also a necessary condition for the existence of a global upper bound on the error of the first-order Taylor approximation. We also relate this global…

In this article we consider a modification of the Stein's spherical maximal operator of complex order $\alpha$ on ${\mathbb R^n}$: $$ {\mathfrak M}^\alpha_{[1,2]} f(x) =\sup\limits_{t\in [1,2]} \big| {1\over \Gamma(\alpha) } \int_{|y|\leq…

Let $L$ be a non-negative self-adjoint operator on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ whose heat kernels have the Gaussian upper bound estimates. Assume that the growth function $\varphi:\,\mathbb{R}^n\times[0,\infty) \to[0,\infty)$ satisfies that…

We prove a Harnack inequality for distributional solutions to a type of degenerate elliptic PDEs in $N$ dimensions. The differential operators in question are related to the Kolmogorov operator, made up of the Laplacian in the last $N-1$…

We want to prove a Harnack type inequality for solutions of strongly degenerate parabolic, or elliptic-parabolic, equations. To do that, we first define a De Giorgi class of order $p = 2$ that contains the solutions of evolution equations…

We consider the operator $\sL$ defined on $C^2(\bR^d)$ functions by \sL f(x)&=&{1/2}\sum_{i,j=1}^d a_{ij}(x)\frac{\partial^2f(x)}{\partial x_i\partial x_j}+\sum_{i=1}^d b_i(x)\frac{\partial f(x)}{\partial x_i}…

We consider weak solutions of the equation $$-\Delta_p^H u+a(x,u)H^q(\nabla u)=f(x,u) \quad \text{in } \Omega,$$ where $H$ is in some cases called Finsler norm, $\Omega$ is a domain of $\mathbb R^N$, $p>1$, $q\ge \max\{p-1,1\}$, and…

A complex function $f(z)$ is called a Herglotz-Nevanlinna function if it is holomorphic in the upper half-plane ${\mathbb C}_+$ and maps ${\mathbb C}_+$ into itself. By a maximum principle a Herglotz-Nevanlinna function which takes a real…

In this paper we prove the higher Sobolev regularity of minimisers for convex integral functionals evaluated on linear differential operators of order one. This intends to generalise the already existing theory for the cases of full and…

We introduce the notion of \textit{Perron capacity} of a set of slopes $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}$. Precisely, we prove that if the Perron capacity of $\Omega$ is finite then the directional maximal operator associated $M_\Omega$ is not…

We obtain the inequalities of the form $$\int_{\Omega}|\nabla u(x)|^2h(u(x))\,{\rm d} x\leq C\int_{\Omega} \left( \sqrt{ |P u(x)||{\cal T}_{H}(u(x))|}\right)^{2}h(u(x))\,{\rm d} x +\Theta,$$ where $\Omega\subset \mathbf{R}^n$ is a bounded…
