In this paper we investigate elliptic partial differential equations on Lipschitz domains in the plane whose coefficient matrices have small (but possibly nonzero) imaginary parts and depend only on one of the two coordinates. We show that…
We consider fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations with quadratic growth in the gradient, such as $$ -F(x,u,Du,D^2u) =\lambda c(x)u+\langle M(x)D u, D u \rangle +h(x) $$ in a bounded domain with a Dirichlet boundary condition, here…
In this note we discuss an abstract framework for standard boundary value problems in divergence form with maximal monotone relations as "coefficients". A reformulation of the respective problems is constructed such that they turn out to be…
We introduce a novel technique for proving global strong discrete maximum principles for finite element discretizations of linear and semilinear elliptic equations for cases when the common, matrix-based sufficient conditions are not…
This is a survey of results mostly relating elliptic equations and systems of arbitrary even order with rough coefficients in Lipschitz graph domains. Asymptotic properties of solutions at a point of a Lipschitz boundary are also discussed.
This is a survey paper that discusses the original bounds of the seminal papers by Chernoff and Hoeffding. Moreover, it includes a variety of derivative bounds in a variety of forms. Complete proofs are provided as needed. The intent is to…
This paper is concerned with approximations and related discretization error estimates for the normal derivatives of solutions of linear elliptic partial differential equations. In order to illustrate the ideas, we consider the Poisson…
In this paper, we describe the structure of shape derivatives around sets which are only assumed to be of finite perimeter in $\R^N$. This structure allows us to define a useful notion of positivity of the shape derivative and we show it…
Under structural conditions which are almost optimal, we derive a quantitative version of boundary estimate then prove existence of solutions to Dirichlet problem for a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations on Hermitian manifolds.
A coordinate-free proof of the Maximum Principle is provided in the specific case of an optimal control problem with fixed time. Our treatment heavily relies on a special notion of variation of curves that consist of a concatenation of…
In this paper we study the so-called large solutions of elliptic semilinear equations with non null sources term, thus solutions blowing up on the boundary of the domain for which reason they are greater than any other solution whenever…
The thesis studies linear and semilinear Dirichlet problems driven by different fractional Laplacians. The boundary data can be smooth functions or also Radon measures. The goal is to classify the solutions which have a singularity on the…
We study the optimal boundary regularity of solutions to Dirichlet problems involving the logarithmic Laplacian. Our proofs are based on the construction of suitable barriers via the Kelvin transform and direct computations. As applications…
In this paper, which corresponds to an updated version of the author's Habilitation lecture in Mathematics, we do an overview of several topics in elliptic problems. We review some old and new results regarding the Lane-Emden equation, both…

We establish an explicit maximum principle for the Dirichlet problem associated with the $p$-Laplacian ($p>1$), where the constant depends on both $p$ and the geometry of the domain. From this result we derive two main applications. First,…
In this survey paper, we study the optimal regularity of solutions to uniformly degenerate elliptic equations in bounded domains and establish the H\"older continuity of solutions and their derivatives up to the boundary.
A variational principle is introduced to provide a new formulation and resolution for several boundary value problems with a variational structure. This principle allows one to deal with problems well beyond the weakly compact structure. As…
We consider inequalities between $L_p$-norms of partial derivatives, $p\in [1,+\infty]$, for bivariate concave functions on a convex domain that vanish on the boundary. Can the ratio between those norms be arbitrarily large? If not, what is…
Linear differential equations and recurrences reveal many properties about their solutions. Therefore, these equations are well-suited for representing solutions and computing with special functions. We identify a large class of existing…
