Upper bound Hölder norm of the solution to the non-linear PDE $\partial_t u (t, x) = \Delta_x \{ |\sigma (u (t, x))|^2 u(t, x) \}$
We fix $T>0$ and let $\mathbb T := [0, T]$. Let $\sigma : \mathbb R \to \mathbb R$ belong to the Hölder space $C^{1, \alpha}_b (\mathbb R)$ for some $\alpha \in (0, 1)$. Let $u : \mathbb T \times \...

regularity of p-harmonic functions
We know that, in general, the 'best' regularity of p-harmonic functions is $C^{1,\alpha}$, $0<\alpha<1$.
Recently, I saw a method of regularized problems as follows: For each $\epsilon>0$, ...

Application of Green function for non linear PDE [closed]
In the case of linear PDE, say $$Lu=0$$ if we have its green function say $G(x,y)$ then using that one can give solution of non homogenous PDE i.e. $Lu_f=f$ where $u_f=G*f$.
Is the same thing hold for ...
