We study a discrete model of the Laplacian in $\mathbb{R}^2$ that preserves the geometric structure of the original continual object. This means that, speaking of a discrete model, we do not mean just the direct replacement of differential…

Let P be a second-order, linear, elliptic operator with real coefficients which is defined on a noncompact and connected Riemannian manifold M. It is well known that the equation Pu = 0 in M admits a positive supersolution which is not a…

The main results of this article provide asymptotics at infinity of the Green's functions near and at the spectral gap edges for "generic" periodic second-order elliptic operators on noncompact Riemannian co-compact coverings with abelian…

We show that the knowledge of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map on the boundary of a bounded open set in $R^n$ for the perturbed polyharmonic operator $(-\Delta)^m +q$ with $q\in L^{n/2m}$, $n>2m$, determines the potential $q$ in the set…

Precise asymptotics known for the Green's function of the Laplace operator have found their analogs for periodic elliptic operators of the second order at and below the bottom of the spectrum. Due to the band-gap structure of the spectra of…

We establish a local Harnack inequality in a neighborhood of an indecomposable singular point of a stationary integral varifold. Extending the method of Gr\"uter and Widman \cite{gruter1982green}, we construct the Green function on a…

We are concerned about the coarse and precise aspects of a priori estimates for Green's function of a regular domain for the Laplacian-Betrami operator on any $3\le n$-dimensional complete non-compact boundary-free Riemannian manifold…

One of the landmarks of the modern theory of partial differential equations is the Malgrange- Ehrenpreis theorem that states that every non-zero linear partial differential operator with constant coefficients has a Green function (alias…

The Green function has a complex dependence upon its underlying domain and differential operator. We briefly review Hadamard's formula for the first variation of the Green function due to a perturbation of the domain. We then take a…

We study uniqueness of $p$-harmonic Green functions in domains $\Omega$ in a complete metric space equipped with a doubling measure supporting a $p$-Poincar\'e inequality, with $1<p<\infty$. For bounded domains in unweighted $\mathbf{R}^n$,…

Let $(M,g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $n \geq 3$ and let $f\in C^{\infty}(M)$, such that the operator $P_f:= \Delta_g+f$ is positive. If $g$ is flat near some point $p$ and $f$ vanishes around $p$, we can define the mass…

Let $h$ be a harmonic function defined on a spherical disk. It is shown that $\Delta^k |h|^2$ is nonnegative for all $k\in \mathbb{N}$ where $\Delta$ is the Laplace-Beltrami operator. This fact is generalized to harmonic functions defined…

We prove a regularity result for Green's functions that are associated to elliptic second order divergence-type linear PDO's with coefficients in C^{1,\alpha}(\bar{\Omega}). Here \alpha\in (0,1) and \Omega\subset \R^n is a bounded…

We investigate the non-existence and existence of positive solutions to biharmonic elliptic inequalities on manifolds. Using Green function and volume growth conditions, we establish the critical exponent for biharmonic problem.

Higher Green functions are real-valued functions of two variables on the upper half plane which are bi-invariant under the action of a congruence subgroup, have logarithmic singularity along the diagonal, and satisfy the equation $\Delta f…
