About the polynomial characterization of $C^{1,\alpha}(\bar{\Omega})$ Hölder space in Lipschitz domain

I have trouble proving the following statement regarding a characterization of $C^{1,\alpha}$: Let $\Omega$ be a Lipschitz domain. $u$ is pointwise $C^{1,\alpha}$ at all points with the same constant $...

Regularity of elliptic equation with Neumann boundary conditions

In the context of the regularity of the free boundary of the one-phase (a.k.a. Bernoulli) problem we want to show $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity of the free boundary implies smoothness of the free boundary ...

Well-posedness of the linear parabolic equations with respect to the inhomogeneous term as well as the initial data

I already asked the question on MSE, and have tried to figure it out myself. But the problem seems trickier than expected, so I guess MO is a better place to ask.. For the sake of completeness, I ...

Parabolic theory for singular coefficients on bounded domains (Reference Request)

In Evans, the theory for linear PDE of parabolic type with bounded coefficients is developed. There are nice results such as long-existence of weak solutions and the parabolic regularity theorems. Is ...

Regularity of solution to Cauchy problem given regular initial data

Let $f\in L^2_1([0,T]\times \mathbb{T}^m)$ (Sobolev space of maps of regularity $1$, $\mathbb{T}^m$ is the $m$-dimensional torus) be a solution of a Cauchy problem $$\frac{d}{dt} f(t) = A f(t)$$ $$f(0)...

Regularity on the boundary for the heat equation with linear source

This is probably a known problem but I was not able to find exactly what I am looking for. I have the following linear heat equation with zero-flux boundary conditions: \begin{equation} \begin{cases}...

Reference for De Giorgi-Nash-Moser theory

I am interested in Holder regularity for equations of the form $$u_t - div A(x,t) \nabla u = 0$$ where $A(x,t)$ is bounded, measurable and elliptic. This was proved in the seminal paper of John Nash ...

Partial regularity for transmission problem in corner domains

Let $n=2$ or $3$ and $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be an open bounded domain. Let suppose that $\Omega$ is divided in two subdomains $\Omega_1$ and $\Omega_2$ and we define $\Gamma = \partial \Omega_1 ...

elliptic regularity of Neumann problem on Square

I asked a similar question the other day, but I will be more precise now. Consider $ \Omega:=(0,1 ) \times (0,1)$ and consider $$ - u_{xx}(x,y) - u_{yy}(x,y) + a(x) u_x + b(y) u_y + u = f(x,y) \mbox{...

Regularity up to the boundary for the Poisson problem

It seems that the following assertion is widely accepted: For $k\in\mathbb N$, $p\geq 2$, $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^n$ bounded with $\partial\Omega\in C^{k+2}$ and $f\in W^{k,p}(\Omega)$, the weak ...

elliptic regularity for Neumann BVP on square

I am interested in the regularity of ellitpic equations like $$ -\Delta u(x) +a(x) \cdot \nabla u(x) + C(x) u(x) =f(x) \quad \Omega$$ with $ \partial_\nu u =0$ on $ \partial \Omega$ where $ \Omega=(...

Regularity of the Maxwell equations

As is well-known, the Maxwell equations can be phrased vectorially as, \begin{align} \nabla \cdot \mathbf E &= \frac{\rho_f}{\varepsilon}, &\text{Gauss's law,}\\\ \nabla \cdot \mathbf ...

Failure of Fredholm property of elliptic PDE systems

Roughly speaking, a PDE operator satisfies the Fredholm property if its principal symbol is elliptic and the information provided on the boundary satisfies the Shapiro-Lopatinskii condition. What can ...

Is the left regularizer for elliptic BVP a left inverse for the principal part?

Take a differential operator with elliptic symbol, consider just the principal part of the operator. Can one invert this principal part with some parametrix type construction (at least construct a ...
