For higher order integral functionals with $p(x)$ growth with respect to the highest order derivative $D^m u$, we prove that $D^m u$ is H\"older continuous on an open subset $\Omega_0 \subset \Omega$ of full Lebesgue- measure, provided that…

We study a general class of parabolic equations $$ u_t-|Du|^\gamma\big(\Delta u+(p-2) \Delta_\infty^N u\big)=0, $$ which can be highly degenerate or singular. This class contains as special cases the standard parabolic $p$-Laplace equation…

We study nonnegative classical solutions $u$ of the polyharmonic inequality $-\Delta^m u > 0$ in a punctured neighborhood of the origin in $R^n$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on integers $n\ge 2$ and $m\ge 1$ such that these…

For $n \geq 5$, we consider positive solutions $u$ of the biharmonic equation \[ \Delta^2 u = u^\frac{n+4}{n-4} \qquad \text{on}\ \mathbb R^n \setminus \{0\} \] with a non-removable singularity at the origin. We show that…

In this paper we prove that a complete Riemannian manifold is $L^p$-positivity preserving for any $p\in(1,\infty)$. This means that any $L^p$ function which solves $(-\Delta + 1)u\ge 0$ in the sense of distributions is necessarily…

The second-order partial derivatives of the Coulomb potential of a point charge can be regularized using the Coulomb potential of a charge of the oblate spheroidal shape that a moving rest-frame-spherical charge acquires by the Lorentz…

We show that perturbing ill-posed differential equations with (potentially very) smooth random processes can restore well-posedness -- even if the perturbation is (potentially much) more regular than the drift component of the solution. The…

In this note we establish existence and uniqueness of weak solutions of linear elliptic equation $\text{div}[\mathbf{A}(x) \nabla u] = \text{div}{\mathbf{F}(x)}$, where the matrix $\mathbf{A}$ is just measurable and its skew-symmetric part…

We examine the fourth order problem $\Delta^2 u = \lambda f(u) $ in $ \Omega$ with $ \Delta u = u =0 $ on $ \partial \Omega$, where $ \lambda > 0$ is a parameter, $ \Omega$ is a bounded domain in $ R^N$ and where $f$ is one of the following…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded open interval, let $p>1$ and $\gamma>0$, and let $m:\Omega\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ be a function that may change sign in $\Omega $. In this article we study the existence and nonexistence of positive solutions for…

We study existence of nonnegative solutions to a nonlinear parabolic boundary value problem with a general singular lower order term and a nonnegative measure as nonhomogeneous datum, of the form $$ \begin{cases} \displaystyle u_t -…

We study the local regularity properties of $(s,p)$-harmonic functions, i.e. local weak solutions to the fractional $p$-Laplace equation of order $s\in (0,1)$ in the case $p\in (1,2]$. It is shown that $(s,p)$-harmonic functions are weakly…

The regularity of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function, in both discrete and continuous contexts, and for both centered and noncentered variants, has been subjected to intense study for the last two decades. But efforts so far have…

We investigate stable solutions of elliptic equations of the type \begin{equation*} \left \{ \begin{aligned} (-\Delta)^s u&=\lambda f(u) \qquad {\mbox{ in $B_1 \subset \R^{n}$}} \\ u&= 0 \qquad{\mbox{ on $\partial B_1$,}}\end{aligned}\right…

We revisit and sharpen the results from our previous work, where we investigated the regularity of the singular set of the free boundary in the nonlinear obstacle problem. As in the work of Figalli-Serra on the classical obstacle problem,…

Let $u\not\equiv -\infty$ be a subharmonic function on the complex plane $\mathbb C$. Then for any function $r\colon\mathbb C\to (0,1]$ satisfying the condition $$\inf_{z\in\mathbb C}\frac{\ln r(z)}{\ln(2+|z|)}>-\infty,$$ there is an entire…

We consider the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for the parabolic equation \[ u_t- \operatorname{div} \left(|\nabla u|^{p(x,t)-2} \nabla u\right)= f(x,t) + F(x,t, u, \nabla u) \] in the cylinder $Q_T:=\Omega\times (0,T)$, where $\Omega\subset…

We consider weak distributional solutions to the equation $-\Delta_pu=f(u)$ in half-spaces under zero Dirichlet boundary condition. We assume that the nonlinearity is positive and superlinear at zero. For $p>2$ (the case $1<p\leq2$ is…

Optimal second-order regularity in the space variables is established for solutions to Cauchy-Dirichlet problems for nonlinear parabolic equations and systems of $p$-Laplacian type, with square-integrable right-hand sides and initial data…

The present paper establishes a certain duality between the Dirichlet and Regularity problems for elliptic operators with $t$-independent complex bounded measurable coefficients ($t$ being the transversal direction to the boundary). To be…
