Transforming from divergence to non-divergence form, as you mentioned, or vice-versa, is another technique. It is applicable if the equation is linear, and the 1st order term satisfies an integrability condition that allows it to be expressed as in your formula. I am still interested in, given a more general elliptic equation, finding a form without such terms, if one exists. | |
