Sobolev space for manifold with boundary
For an compact manifold $M$ without boundary, we consider the eigenfunctions $(f_1,f_2,\ldots)$ of some elliptic operator (e.g $\Delta$) with eigenvalue $\lambda_{1},\lambda_{2},\ldots$. To define ...

Continuously dependent on parameters [closed]
How do we check whether the solution is continuouly dependent on parameters?
Let $\Omega$ be a domain with smooth boundary. Say $f$ and $h$ are smooth. Assume that for each $\theta\in (0, 1]$, the ...

Differentiability of Nemytskii operator on Sobolev space
I am trying to consider hypothesis on $g$ such that the operator
$$ H_0^1 (\Omega) \to L^2(\Omega), \qquad v \mapsto g(v) $$
is $\mathcal C^1$. As additional hypothesis $\Omega$ is bounded and $g(0) = ...

Reference request: optimal $L^p$ regularity for solutions to $-\Delta u=f$ with $f\in L^1(R^d)$
The tilte says it all. Given $f\in L^1(R^d)$ (let me restrict to dimension $d\geq 3$ for convenience), what is the optimal $L^p$ regularity for solutions to
$$
-\Delta u=f\hspace{3cm}(1)?
$$

Reference Request: Elliptic differential operators in the Fréchet setting
Normally the theory of (elliptic) differential operators between vector bundles (or $\mathbb{R}^n$) is presented in the language of Sobolev spaces. I'm searching for a book (or something similar) ...

slightly subcritical elliptic pde; the linearized equations
Let $ p_m \nearrow \frac{N+2}{N-2}$ and consider the family of elliptic problems
$$-\Delta u_m(x)=u_m(x)^{p_m} \quad B \qquad \quad u_m =0 \quad \partial B,$$ where $B$ is the unit ball ...

Pseudoinverse of Neumann-Laplacian
Suppose you have the following PDE: find $u \in H^1(\Omega)$ such that
$$-\Delta u = f, \\ \frac{\partial u}{\partial n} = 0. $$
Further assume a solvability condition
$$\int_\Omega f ~\mathrm{d}\...

Fundamental solutions for degenerate elliptic equations
I am looking for a paper or a book that says about the existence and some estimates (like these in the non-degenerate case) of the fundamental solutions for degenerate elliptic equations $L = -divA\...

Variational problems whose lagrangian density depends on derivatives higher than 1.
The usual theory of calculus of variations, as far as I know, is concerned with lagrangian densities which depend on the function and its gradient, namely we try to minimise $\int L(Dw,w,x) dx$. ...

Upper bounds for the solution of an elliptic PDE depending on a parameter.
Suppose I have the following PDE on $[0,1]^n$
$$\mathcal{L}u = -\nabla \cdot \left(a(x, r)\nabla u\right) = f(x,r), \qquad x\in [0,1]^n,$$
with periodic boundary conditions and $\int f(x) dx =0$ . ...

Core of divergence form operator with unbounded coefficient
Consider the unbounded operator $L$ on $L^2(\mathbb{R^d})$ to be the self-adjoint extension of
$$Lf := \nabla \cdot \left(a(x) \nabla f(x) \right)$$ on $C^2_c(\mathbb{R^d})$.
I also assume that $a(x)...

Trace space and Neumann boundary condition
In which sense is it possible to solve $\Delta u=0$, $\partial_\nu u=\phi$, for $\int\phi=0$ on a closed domain, say a ball $B^3\subset\mathbb R^3$?
For example would a $\phi\in L^p(\partial B^3)$, $...
