Let $\Omega\subset{\mathbb R}^n$ be bounded with a smooth boundary $\Gamma$ and let $S$ be the symmetric operator in $L^2(\Omega)$ given by the minimal realization of a second order elliptic differential operator. We give a complete…

We give $L^p$ estimates for the second derivatives of weak solutions to the Dirichlet problem for equation $\Div(\mathbf{A}\nabla u) = f$ in $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ with Sobolev coefficients. In particular, for $f\in L^2(\Omega)…

Given a symplectic manifold $M$, we may define an operad structure on the the spaces $\op^k$ of the Lagrangian submanifolds of $(\bar{M})^k\times M$ via symplectic reduction. If $M$ is also a symplectic groupoid, then its multiplication…

We study a Dirichlet problem for an elliptic equation defined by a degenerate coercive operator and a singular right-hand side. We will show that the right-hand side has some regularizing effects on the solutions, even if it is singular.

We prove bilinear inequalities for differential operators in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Such type inequalities turned out to be useful for anisotropic embedding theorems for overdetermined systems and the limiting order summation exponent. However,…

Let $P$ be a symmetric $2a$-order classical strongly elliptic pseudodifferential operator with even symbol $p(x,\xi )$ on $R^n$ ($0<a<1$), for example a perturbation of $(-\Delta )^a$. Let $\Omega \subset R^n$ be bounded, and let $P_D$ be…

The theory of non symmetric Dirichlet forms is generalized to the non abelian setting, also establishing the natural correspondences among Dirichlet forms, sub-Markovian semigroups and sub-Markovian resolvents within this context. Examples…

We prove lower bounds for the Dirichlet Laplacian on possibly unbounded domains in terms of natural geometric conditions. This is used to derive uncertainty principles for low energy functions of general elliptic second order divergence…

In this paper, we use a probabilistic approach to show that there exists a unique, bounded continuous solution to the Dirichlet boundary value problem for a general class of second order non-symmetric elliptic operators $L$ with singular…

We present a way of defining the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator on general Hilbert spaces using a pair of operators for which each one's adjoint is formally the negative of the other. In particular, we define an abstract analogue of trace…

In this paper, we consider an elliptic operator obtained as the superposition of a classical second-order differential operator and a nonlocal operator of fractional type. Though the methods that we develop are quite general, for…

Let $L$ be an infinitely degenerate second-order linear operator defined on a bounded smooth Euclidean domain. Under weaker conditions than those of H\"ormander, we show that the Dirichlet problem associated with $L$ has a unique smooth…

We study the Dirichlet problem for fully nonlinear, degenerate elliptic equations of the form f(Hess, u)=0 on a smoothly bounded domain D in R^n. In our approach the equation is replaced by a subset F of the space of symmetric nxn-matrices,…

We present the theory of the Dirichlet problem for nonlocal operators which are the generators of general pure-jump symmetric L\'evy processes whose L\'evy measures need not be absolutely continuous. We establish basic facts about the…

We consider a countably generated and uniformly closed algebra of bounded functions. We assume that there is a lower semicontinuous, with respect to the supremum norm, quadratic form and that normal contractions operate in a certain sense.…

We study a class of degenerate parabolic and elliptic equations in divergence form in the upper half space $\{x_d>0\}$. The leading coefficients are of the form $x_d^2a_{ij}$, where $a_{ij}$ are bounded, uniformly elliptic, and measurable…

In this paper we study nonlocal nonlinear equations of fractional $(s,p)$-Laplacian type on $\mathbf{R}^n$. We show that the irregular boundary points for the Dirichlet problem can be divided into two disjoint classes: semiregular and…

We study elliptic and parabolic problems governed by the singular elliptic operators $$ y^{\alpha}\left(D_{yy}+\frac{c}{y}D_y\right)-V(y),\qquad\alpha \in\mathbb R $$ in $\mathbb R_+$, where $V$ is a potential having non-negative real part.

In this paper we establish that several maximal operators of convolution type, associated to elliptic and parabolic equations, are variation-diminishing. Our study considers maximal operators on the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$, on the…
