This paper is devoted to the interior $C^2$ estimates for a class of sum Hessian quotient equations. For $0\leq l<k<n$, we establish the interior estimates and the Pogorelov type estimates. In the case $k=n$, we obtain a weaker Pogorelov…
In this paper, we mainly study the interior $C^2$ estimates for a class of sum Hessian equations. We establish the interior estimates and the Pogorelov type estimates for $0<k<n$. If $k=n$, we derive a weaker Pogorelov type estimates.
In this paper, we derive an interior Schauder estimate for the divergence form elliptic equation \begin{equation*} D_i(a(x)D_iu)=D_if_i \end{equation*} in $\mathbb{R}^2$, where $a(x)$ and $f_i(x)$ are piecewise H\"older continuous in a…
In this paper, we provide examples to show that for $1 \leq k \leq n/2$, solutions to $k$-Hessian equations $S_k(D^2u)=1$ in the exterior of a strictly convex domain need not be quasiconvex, when prescribing quadratic growth at infinity.…
New, doubling proofs are given for the interior Hessian estimates of the special Lagrangian equation. These estimates were originally shown by Chen-Warren-Yuan in CPAM 2009 and Wang-Yuan in AJM 2014. This yields a higher codimension…
We study the PDE $\lambda_j(D^2 u) = 0$, in $\Omega$, with $u=g$, on $\partial \Omega$. Here $\lambda_1(D^2 u) \leq ... \leq \lambda_N (D^2 u)$ are the ordered eigenvalues of the Hessian $D^2 u$. First, we show a geometric interpretation of…
We consider the Hamiltonian stationary equation for all phases in dimension two. We show that solutions that are $C^{1,1}$ will be smooth and we also derive a $C^{2,\alpha}$ estimate for it.
We derive Hessian estimates for convex solutions to quadratic Hessian equation by a compactness argument.
In this paper, we establish interior Hessian and gradient estimates for the two-dimensional Lagrangian mean curvature equation when the phase changes signs, provided the gradient of the phase vanishes along its zero set. At the critical…
Spectral estimation plays a fundamental role in frequency-domain identification and related signal processing problems. This paper revisits a 2-D spectral estimation problem formulated in terms of convex optimization. More precisely, we…
We study stable solutions to the equation $(-\Delta)^{1/2} u = f(u)$, posed in a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^n$. For nonnegative convex nonlinearities, we prove that stable solutions are smooth in dimensions $n\leq 4$. This result, which…
In this note, we prove interior a priori first- and second-order estimates for solutions of fully nonlinear degenerate elliptic inequalities structured over the vector fields of Carnot groups, under the main assumption that $u$ is…
We study Hessian fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations and show that the second derivatives of viscosity solutions of those equations (in 12 or more dimensions) can blow up in an interior point of the domain. We prove that the…
A new class of continuous valuations on the space of convex functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$ is introduced. On smooth convex functions, they are defined for $i=0,\dots,n$ by \begin{equation*} u\mapsto \int_{\mathbb{R}^n} \zeta(u(x),x,\nabla…
In this paper, we establish the gradient and Pogorelov estimates for $k$-convex-monotone solutions to parabolic $k$-Hessian equations of the form $-u_t\sigma_k(\lambda(D^2u))=\psi(x,t,u)$. We also apply such estimates to obtain a Liouville…
We obtain a prior $C^{1,1}$ estimates for some Hessian (quotient) equations with positive Lipschitz right hand sides, through studying a twisted special Lagrangian equation. The results imply the interior $C^{2,\alpha}$ regularity for $C^0$…
In this paper, we establish an a priori second-order estimate for admissible solutions satisfying a dynamic plurisubharmonic condition to equations involving sums of Hessian operators on compact Hermitian manifolds. The estimate is derived…
We derive explicit, uniform, a priori interior Hessian and gradient estimates for special Lagrangian equations of all phases in dimension two.
It is well-known that a celebrated J\"{o}rgens-Calabi-Pogorelov theorem for Monge-Amp\`ere equations states that any classical (viscosity) convex solution of $\det(D^2u)=1$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ must be a quadratic polynomial. Therefore, it is…
