Does this linear elliptic equation have a weak solution?
Let $Q = \Omega \times (0,C)$ where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain, write $(x,y) \in Q$ for $x \in \Omega$ and $y \in (0,C)$. Is the problem
$$\Delta_{(x,y)}v = 0\quad\text{in $Q$}$$
$$\frac{\partial v(...

Moser estimates?
Consider $u$, an $L^2$ solution to the uniformly elliptic equation $(\partial_t^2 + L)u = 0$ on a ball $B_1$ of radius 1 centered at $(t_0, x_0)$, say, where $t$ can be treated as a "time" variable. I ...

Analysis of Sobolev spaces [closed]
I just wanted to know wthether the following is OK or not.
Let $X$ be $H_0^1(\Omega)\bigcap L^{\infty}(\Omega)$, thought of as a subspace of $H^1_0(\Omega)$ and endowed solely with the usual $H^1$ ...

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 ...

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 $\int f(x) dx =0$ . ...

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}\...

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 $\int L(Dw,w,x) dx$. ...

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 $\phi\in L^p(\partial B^3)$, $...
