We consider nonconforming methods for symmetric elliptic problems and characterize their quasi-optimality in terms of suitable notions of stability and consistency. The quasi-optimality constant is determined and the possible impact of…

We prove $L_p$ estimates of solutions to a conormal derivative problem for divergence form complex-valued higher-order elliptic systems on a half space and on a Reifenberg flat domain. The leading coefficients are assumed to be merely…

We prove a comparison theorem for super- and sub-solutions with non-vanishing gradients to semilinear PDEs provided a nonlinearity $f$ is $L^p$ function with $p > 1$. The proof is based on a strong maximum principle for solutions of…

We study the persistence of quadratic estimates related to the Kato square root problem across a change of metric on smooth manifolds by defining a class of Riemannian-like metrics that are permitted to be of low regularity and degenerate…

For $n\geq 3$, we study the existence and asymptotic properties of the fundamental solution for elliptic operators in nondivergence form, ${\mathcal L}(x,\partial_x)=a_{ij}(x)\partial_i\partial_j+b_k(x)\partial_k$, where the $a_{ij}$ have…

We give an overview of the generalized Calder\'on-Zygmund theory for "non-integral" singular operators, that is, operators without kernels bounds but appropriate off-diagonal estimates. This theory is powerful enough to obtain weighted…

Given a complex, elliptic coefficient function we investigate for which values of $p$ the corresponding second-order divergence form operator, complemented with Dirichlet, Neumann or mixed boundary conditions, generates a strongly…

We show that elliptic second order operators $A$ of divergence type fulfill maximal parabolic regularity on distribution spaces, even if the underlying domain is highly non-smooth, the coefficients of $A$ are discontinuous and $A$ is…

We obtain $L^p(L^q)$ maximal regularity estimates for time dependent second order elliptic operators in divergence form with rough dependencies in the spatial variables.

We consider second order uniformly elliptic operators of divergence form in $\R^{d+1}$ whose coefficients are independent of one variable. Under the Lipschitz condition on the coefficients we characterize the domain of the Poisson operators…

In this article, we present a simpler and alternative proof of the solvability of the regularity problem - that is, the Dirichlet problem with boundary data in $\dot W^{1,p}$ - for uniformly elliptic operators on $\mathbb{R}^n_+$ under a…

We consider elliptic equations with operators $L=a^{ij}D_{ij}+b^{i}D_{i}-c$ with $a$ being almost in VMO, $b\in L_{d}$ and $c\in L_{q}$, $c\geq0$, $d>q\geq d/2$. We prove the solvability of $Lu=f\in L_{p}$ in bounded $C^{1,1}$-domains,…

Operator-type estimates of homogenization are obtained for elliptic operators of arbitrary even order equal or greater than two. Operators under consideration are non-selfadjoint with lower-order terms.
