We design a two-scale finite element method (FEM) for linear elliptic PDEs in non-divergence form $A(x) : D^2 u(x) = f(x)$ in a bounded but not necessarily convex domain $\Omega$ and study it in the max norm. The fine scale is given by the…

Sharp $L^\infty$ estimates are obtained for general classes of fully non-linear PDE's on non-K\"ahler manifolds, complementing the theory developed earlier by the authors in joint work with F. Tong for the K\"ahler case. The key idea is…

This paper surveys the main results obtained during the period 1992-1999 on three aspects mentioned at the title. The first result is a new and general variational formula for the lower bound of spectral gap (i.e., the first non-trivial…
