This paper is concerned with the Dirichlet problem for an equation involving the 1--Laplacian operator $\Delta_1 u$ and having a singular term of the type $\frac{f(x)}{u^\gamma}$. Here $f\in L^N(\Omega)$ is nonnegative, $0<\gamma\le1$ and…

We investigate elliptic boundary-value problems for which the maximum of the orders of the boundary operators is equal to or greater than the order of the elliptic differential equation. We prove that the operator corresponding to an…
In this work, we give a characterization of Lipschitz operators on spaces of $C^2(M)$ functions (also $C^{1,1}$, $C^{1,\gamma}$, $C^1$, $C^\gamma$) that obey the global comparison property-- i.e. those that preserve the global ordering of…
