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.

In this note, we investigate the measure of singular sets and critical sets of real-valued solutions of elliptic equations in two dimensions. These singular sets and critical sets are finitely many points in the plane. Adapting the Carleman…
Based on a fundamental identity for stochastic hyperbolic-like operators, we derive in this paper a global Carleman estimate (with singular weight function) for stochastic wave equations. This leads to an observability estimate for…

In this work, we give a characterization of Lipschitz operators on spaces of $C^2(M)$ functions (also $C^{1,1}$, $C^{1,\gamma}$, $C^1$, $C^\gamma$) that obey the global comparison property-- i.e. those that preserve the global ordering of…
We derive gradient and second order {\em a priori} estimates for solutions of the Neumann problem for a general class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations on compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary. These estimates yield regularity and…
We obtain asymptotic mean-value formulas for solutions of second-order elliptic equations. Our approach is very flexible and allows us to consider several families of operators obtained as an infimum, a supremum, or a combination of both…
In this paper, a new method is proposed to produce guaranteed lower bounds for eigenvalues of general second order elliptic operators in any dimension. Unlike most methods in the literature, the proposed method only needs to solve one…
This work is concerned with the obtainment of new Carleman estimates for linear parabolic equations, where the second-order differential operator brings a super strong degeneracy in a positive measure subset of the spatial domain. In order…
We develop a new real-variable method for weighted $L^p$ estimates. The method is applied to the study of weighted $W^{1, 2}$ estimates in Lipschitz domains for weak solutions of second-order elliptic systems in divergence form with bounded…
We consider an elliptic operator in which the second-order term is very small in one direction. In this regime, we study the behaviour of the principal eigenfunction and of the principal eigenvalue. Our first result deals with the limit of…
