In this article we give a brief overview of some known results in the theory of obstacle-type problems associated with a class of fourth-order elliptic operators, and we highlight our recent work with collaborators in this direction.…
We study elliptic and parabolic problems governed by the singular elliptic operators $$ \mathcal L=y^{\alpha_1}\mbox{Tr }\left(QD^2_x\right)+2y^{\frac{\alpha_1+\alpha_2}{2}}q\cdot \nabla_xD_y+\gamma y^{\alpha_2}…
It is shown that the first biharmonic boundary value problem on a topologically trivial domain in 3D is equivalent to three (consecutively to solve) second-order problems. This decomposition result is based on a Helmholtz-like decomposition…
We define a class of pseudo-differential operators in a completely new way, which is called the abstract operators and expounded systematically the theory of abstract operators. By combining abstract operators with the Laplace transform, we…
We present some recent advances in the productive and symbiotic interplay between general potential theories (subharmonic functions associated to closed subsets $\mathcal{F} \subset \mathcal{J}^2(X)$ of the 2-jets on $X \subset…
We give the homotopy classification and compute the index of boundary value problems for elliptic equations. The classical case of operators that satisfy the Atiyah-Bott condition is studied first. We also consider the general case of…
We investigate an arbitrary regular elliptic boundary-value problem given in a bounded Euclidean domain with infinitely smooth boundary. We prove that the operator of the problem is bounded and Fredholm in appropriate pairs of H\"ormander…
This paper examines the intuitive meaning of the Saint--Venant compatibility equation known from the linear theory of deformations. The linearized theory is typically obtained from the relations of finite deformation theory by neglecting…
Adaptive multilevel finite element methods are developed and analyzed for certain elliptic systems arising in geometric analysis and general relativity. This class of nonlinear elliptic systems of tensor equations on manifolds is first…
This paper studies formulations of second-order elliptic partial differential equations in nondivergence form on convex domains as equivalent variational problems. The first formulation is that of Smears \& S\"uli [SIAM J.\ Numer.\ Anal.\…
The notion of $p$-ellipticity has recently played a significant role in improving our understanding of issues of solvability of boundary value problems for scalar complex valued elliptic PDEs. In particular, the presence of $p$-ellipticity…
We introduce a family of algebras which are multiplicative analogues of preprojective algebras, and their deformations, as introduced by M. P. Holland and the first author. We show that these algebras provide a natural setting for the…
We propose an operator preconditioner for general elliptic pseudodifferential equations in a domain $\Omega$, where $\Omega$ is either in $\mathbb{R}^n$ or in a Riemannian manifold. For linear systems of equations arising from low-order…
In the present paper we study embedding operators for weighted Sobolev spaces whose weights satisfy the well-known Muckenhoupt A_p-condition. Sufficient conditions for boundedness and compactness of the embedding operators are obtained for…
On a manifold $X$ with boundary and bounded geometry we consider a strongly elliptic second order operator $A$ together with a degenerate boundary operator $T$ of the form $T=\varphi_0\gamma_0 + \varphi_1\gamma_1$. Here $\gamma_0$ and…
In this note we set up the elliptic and the parabolic Dirichlet problem for linear nonlocal operators. As opposed to the classical case of second order differential operators, here the "boundary data" are prescribed on the complement of a…
In the present paper we study perturbation theory for the $L^p$ Dirichlet problem on bounded chord arc domains for elliptic operators in divergence form with potentially unbounded antisymmetric part in BMO. Specifically, given elliptic…
We give sufficient conditions for some underdetermined elliptic PDE of any order to construct smooth compactly supported solutions. In particular we show that two smooth elements in the kernel of certain underdetermined linear elliptic…
We clarify how close a second order fully nonlinear equation can come to uniform ellipticity, through counting large eigenvalues of the linearized operator. This suggests an effective and novel way to understand the structure of fully…
We treat the boundary problem for complex varieties with isolated singularities, of complex dimension greater than or equal to 3, non necessarily compact, which are contained in strongly convex, open subsets of a complex Hilbert space H. We…
