We obtain some regularity results for solutions to vectorial $p$-Laplace equations $$ -{\boldsymbol \Delta}_p{\boldsymbol u}=-\operatorname{\bf div}(|D{\boldsymbol u}|^{p-2}D{\boldsymbol u}) = {\boldsymbol f}(x,{\boldsymbol u})\,\, \mbox{…

We consider solutions to $$ - \Delta_{p} u = f(x) \quad \text{in } \Omega\, ,$$ when $p$ approaches the semilinear limiting case $p=2$ and we get third order estimates. As a consequence we deduce improved regularity properties of the stress…

Solutions to $p$-Laplace equations are not, in general, of class $C^2$. The study of Sobolev regularity of the second derivatives is, therefore, a crucial issue. An important contribution by Cianchi and Maz'ya shows that, if the source term…

Second-order estimates are established for solutions to the $p$-Laplace system with right-hand side in $L^2$. The nonlinear expression of the gradient under the divergence operator is shown to belong to $W^{1,2}$, and hence to enjoy the…

We consider the equation $- \Delta_{p} u = f(x)$ in $\Omega,$ where $\Delta_{p}$ is the $p$-Laplace operator. We provide $L^{\infty}$-type estimates for the second derivatives of solutions when $p$ approaches to $2$.

Let $\Omega\subset R^n$ be a bounded convex domain with $n\ge2$. Suppose that $A$ is uniformly elliptic and belongs to $W^{1,n}$ when $n\ge 3$ or $W^{1,q}$ for some $q>2$ when $n=2$. For $1<p<\infty$, we build up a global second order…

Denote by $\Delta$ the Laplacian and by $\Delta_\infty $ the $\infty$-Laplacian. A fundamental inequality is proved for the algebraic structure of $\Delta v\Delta_\infty v$: for every $v\in C^\infty$, $$\ | { |D^2vDv|^2} - {\Delta v…
