Nonsmooth version of Hopf boundary point lemma
Let
$$
Lu=-a_{ij}(x)\partial_{ij}u+b_i(x)\partial_i u
$$
be a uniformly elliptic operator, with $A(x)=(a_{ij}(x))$ positive-definite.
Here I'm only considering smooth coefficients, and the domain $\...

Proving an estimate for the Neumann problem on $\mathbb{R}^3 \setminus B_1$ in Weighted Sobolev spaces
Let $M := \mathbb{R}^3 \setminus B_1$ where $B_1$ is the unit ball.
It is known that for every $g \in H^{\frac{1}{2}} (\partial M)$, and for an appropriate $\delta$, there exists a unique solution $u$ ...

Existence and regularity for fractional elliptic problem with gradient term: $ (-\Delta)^s u + v\cdot \nabla u = 0$ with $v \in \dot H^s$
Let us consider the problem
$$ (-\Delta)^s u + v\cdot \nabla u = 0 \quad \text{ in } \mathbb R^n, $$
where $s \in (0,1)$, $(-\Delta)^s$ is the fractional Laplace operator and
$v:\mathbb R^n \to \...

A scaled fractional ''Sobolev inequality''
Does a fractional interpolation inequality similar to $$
\int_{B_R(0)} |u| dx \le C R^{2} \sqrt{\log(2R)} \Big( \int_{\mathbb R^2}\int_{\mathbb R^2} \frac{|u(x)-u(y)|^2}{|x-y|^{2+2s}} dxdy + \int_{B_1(...

Prove Liouville theorem without using mean value property
How can I prove the following Liouville theorem without using the mean value property?
If $u$ is harmonic on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}|\nabla u|^2 dx \leq C$ for some $C > 0$, then $...

Elliptic interface problem without conditions on the interface
Consider an open domain $U$ split in two non-overlapping subdomains: $U = U_1 \cup U_2$.
For a model case, consider a ball split in a smaller ball and an anulus.
Consider the following elliptic ...
