Elliptic regularity on bounded domains
I'm concerned with a generic uniformly elliptic operator $L$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$. If $L$ is uniformly elliptic and I am studying the equation $Lu=f$ then the way I can deduce regularity on $\mathbb{R}^n$...

Characterizing the harmonic oscillator creation and annihilation operators in a rotationally invariant way
I am interested in a characterization of the creation and annihilation operators that is in some sense invariant under $O(n)$ rotations of $\mathbb{R}^n$:

Where was/is Compensated Compactness used?
This last summer, I read up on Tartar's so called Method of Compensated Compactness (or at least how it applied to scalar conservation laws). I used this theory to prove the existence of $L^{\infty}$ ...

Error analysis of implicit functions
I'm trying to do propagation of error using the linearized variance method (assuming independent variables, thus no need for the covariance terms):
$$\sigma^2_f = \sum^n_{k=0} \left(\frac{\partial f}{...
