We construct a bounded $C^{1}$ domain $\Omega$ in $R^{n}$ for which the $H^{3/2}$ regularity for the Dirichlet and Neumann problems for the Laplacian cannot be improved, that is, there exists $f$ in $C^{\infty}(\overline\Omega)$ such that…

Solutions to $p$-Laplace equations are not, in general, of class $C^2$. The study of Sobolev regularity of the second derivatives is, therefore, a crucial issue. An important contribution by Cianchi and Maz'ya shows that, if the source term…

In this paper, we study the second order Sobolev regularity of solutions to the parabolic $p$-Laplace equation. For any $p$-parabolic function $u$, we show that $D(|Du|^{\frac{p-2+s}{2}}Du)$ exists as a function and belongs to…

In this paper we prove a Sobolev and a Morrey type inequality involving the mean curvature and the tangential gradient with respect to the level sets of the function that appears in the inequalities. Then, as an application, we establish…

Denote by $\Delta$ the Laplacian and by $\Delta_\infty $ the $\infty$-Laplacian. A fundamental inequality is proved for the algebraic structure of $\Delta v\Delta_\infty v$: for every $v\in C^\infty$, $$\ | { |D^2vDv|^2} - {\Delta v…

A by now classical result due to DiBenedetto states that the spatial gradient of solutions to the parabolic $p$-Laplacian system is locally H\"older continuous in the interior. However, the boundary regularity is not yet well understood. In…

We study higher regularity for weak solutions of the $p$-Laplace equation $-\Delta_p u = f$ in a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ for $p$ sufficiently close to 2. For $m \ge 3$, assuming that $f$ satisfies suitable Sobolev and H\"older…

We study a general form of a degenerate or singular parabolic equation $$ u_t-|Du|^{\gamma}\big(\Delta u+(p-2)\Delta_\infty^Nu\big)=0 $$ that generalizes both the standard parabolic $p$-Laplace equation and the normalized version that…

We deal with boundary value problems for second-order nonlinear elliptic equations in divergence form, which emerge as Euler-Lagrange equations of integral functionals of the Calculus of Variations built upon possibly anisotropic norms of…

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…
