Getting a comparison principle for parabolic equation when solution is not that smooth
Consider the solution $b(u) \in L^2(0,T;H^1)\cap H^1(0,T;H^{-1})$ with $u \in L^2(0,T;H^1)$ to
$$\frac{\partial}{\partial t}b(u) - \Delta u = f$$
where $b$ is continuous, increasing and locally ...

Does sets of positive capacity rule out constant functions?
Let $U\subset \Bbb R^d$ be bounded with Lipschitz boundary $K\subset \bar{U}$ be compact. The capacity of $K$ in $U$ is defined by
\begin{align*}
\text{Cap}_{p}(K, U) :=
\inf \left\{
\int_U |\...

Reference for smoothness of Nemytskii operator on fractional Sobolev spaces
Let $\varphi:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ be smooth and bounded (together with all of its derivatives). Define the operator
$$
\big(N_\varphi x\big)(t)=\varphi\big(x(t)\big)
$$
for $x\in H^s(T^d)$, the ...

While doing Lp estimates, is the constant C monotonically increasing with respect to the parameters it depends on?
For example, consider the third boundary value problem:
\begin{align}
&\frac{\partial u}{\partial t}-\sum_{i,j=1}^n a_{ij}(x,t) \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x_i \partial x_j} + \sum_{i=1}^n ...

Regularity theory for parabolic PDEs in fractional Sobolev spaces
I am trying studying on my own parabolic PDEs throughout the book "Linear and Quasi-linear Equations of Parabolic Type" by Vsevolod A. Solonnikov, Nina Uraltseva, Olga Ladyzhenskaya and the ...

Weak derivative under the integral sign
Let $\Omega$ be a bounded and regular open subset $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^N$ and $u:[0,\infty)\times \Omega\to \mathbb{R}$ be a smooth function (for example a smooth solution to a PDE). Thus the ...

Regularity of solutions to $u' + Au = f$ for nonlinear monotone operator $A$
Consider the equation
$$u' + Au = f$$
$$u|_{\partial \Omega} = 0$$
$$u(0) = u_0$$
where $A:L^p(0,T;W^{1,p}_0) \to L^q(0,T;W^{-1,q})$ is some monotone nonlinear operator (with additional assumptions). ...

Is this function space a "classical" Sobolev space?
I apologise if this is indeed classical but my functional analysis is quite rusty...
My work recently led me to the norm: $(\|u\|_p)^p=\int_D (|u|^p+|\Delta u|^p)d\lambda$ where $D$ is the unit disk ...

$L^\infty$ estimate for elliptic PDE with mixed boundary conditions
Take $\Omega$ to be a bounded smooth domain with boundary $\partial\Omega = \Gamma_1 \cup \Gamma_2$, where $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ are disjoint.
Consider the problem
$$\Delta u = f \quad\text{in $\...
