We establish sharp interior and boundary regularity estimates for solutions to $\partial_t u - L u = f(t, x)$ in $I\times \Omega$, with $I \subset \mathbb{R}$ and $\Omega \subset\mathbb{R}^n$. The operators $L$ we consider are…

Let $H$ be a complex Hilbert space whose dimension is not less than $3$ and let ${\mathcal F}_{s}(H)$ be the real vector space formed by all self-adjoint operators of finite rank on $H$. For every non-zero natural $k<\dim H$ we denote by…
This paper is concerned with the directional derivative of the value function for a very general set-constrained optimization problem under perturbation. Under reasonable assumptions, we obtain upper and lower estimates for the upper and…
In this paper, we introduce a new second-order directional derivative and a second-order subdifferential of Hadamard type for an arbitrary nondifferentiable function. We derive several second-order optimality conditions for a local and a…
We prove sharp boundary H{\"o}lder regularity for solutions to equations involving stable integro-differential operators in bounded open sets satisfying the exterior $C^{1,\text{dini}}$-property. This result is new even for the fractional…
In this paper we study a class of Fourier integral operators, whose symbols lie in the multi-parameter H\"ormander class $S^{\vec m}( \mathbb{R}^\vn)$, where ~$\vec m=(m_1,m_2,\dots,m_d)$ is the order. We show that if in addition the phase…
In a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with smooth boundary, we study the regularity of the viscosity solution, $T$, of the Dirichlet problem for the eikonal equation associated with a family of smooth vector fields $\{X_1,\ldots ,X_N\}$,…
We establish a deep connection between the Prandtl equations linearised around a quadratic shear flow, confluent hypergeometric functions of the first kind, and the Schr\"odinger operator. Our first result concerns an ODE and a spectral…
We study here the effects of a time-dependent second order perturbation to a degenerate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type operator whose diffusive part can be either local or non-local. More precisely, we establish that some estimates, such as the…
A central result of Sturm-Liouville theory (also called the Sturm-Hurwitz Theorem) states that if $\phi_k$ is a sequence of eigenfunctions of a second order differential operator on the interval $I \subset \mathbb{R}$, then any linear…
This paper deals with two separate but related results. First we consider weak solutions to a parabolic operator with H\"ormander vector fields. Adapting the iteration scheme of J\"urgen Moser for elliptic and parabolic equations in…
The purpose of this note is to present several criteria for essential self-adjointness. The method is based on ideas due to Shubin. This note is divided into two parts. The first part deals with symmetric first order systems on the line in…
We study a series of regularity results for solutions to a degenerate or singular fully nonlinear integro-differential equation of the form $$- \big( \sigma_{1}(|Du|) + a(x) \sigma_{2}(|Du|) \big) \mathcal{I}_{\tau}(u,x) = f(x).$$ In the…
We prove that a generic differential operator of type DN is irreducible, regular, (anti)self-adjoint, and has quasiunipotent local monodromies. We prove that the defining matrix of a DN operator can be recovered from the expression of the…
Given a complex, separable Hilbert space $\cH$, we consider differential expressions of the type $\tau = - (d^2/dx^2) + V(x)$, with $x \in (a,\infty)$ or $x \in \bbR$. Here $V$ denotes a bounded operator-valued potential $V(\cdot) \in…
In this paper we study $2$nd order $L^\infty$ variational problems, through seeking to minimise a supremal functional involving the Hessian of admissible functions as well as lower-order terms. Specifically, given a bounded domain…
We shall discuss the inhomogeneous Dirichlet problem for: $f(x,u, Du, D^2u) = \psi(x)$ where $f$ is a "natural" differential operator, with a restricted domain $F$, on a manifold $X$. By "natural" we mean operators that arise intrinsically…
We study a class of linear ordinary differential equations (ODE)s with distributional coefficients. These equations are defined using an {\it intrinsic} multiplicative product of Schwartz distributions which is an extension of the…
