We consider the mixed Dirichlet-conormal problem on irregular domains in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Two types of regularity results will be discussed: the $W^{1,p}$ regularity and a non-tangential maximal function estimate. The domain is assumed to be…

We show that if $u$ is a solution to a linear elliptic differential equation of order $2m\geq 2$ in the half-space with $t$-independent coefficients, and if $u$ satisfies certain area integral estimates, then the Dirichlet and Neumann…

We consider the energy of the torsion problem with Robin boundary conditions in the case where the solution is not a minimizer. Its dependence on the volume of the domain and the surface area of the boundary is discussed. In contrast to the…

This paper is concerned with the Dirichlet problem for an equation involving the 1--Laplacian operator $\Delta_1 u$ and having a singular term of the type $\frac{f(x)}{u^\gamma}$. Here $f\in L^N(\Omega)$ is nonnegative, $0<\gamma\le1$ and…
