Regularity of weak solution
I have also posted the question here. Let me explain what difficulties I have. In fact, one may write
\begin{equation}
\partial_1(f-\partial_1 u)=0
\end{equation}
in $\Omega$. Then one may have the ...

$L^2$ bound on solution of PDE in terms of $L^2$ norm of initial value
Let $u \in H^1((0,T)\times S)$ be the unique solution of
$$u_{tt} + \Delta u =0$$
$$u|_{t=0}= u_0$$
$$u|_{t=T}=0$$
where $u_0 \in H^{\frac 12}(S)$ and $S$ is some Euclidean hypersurface without ...

Operator globally hypoelliptic
An operateor $T$ is globally hypoelliptic if :
$u\in S'(\Bbb R^n),Tu\in S(\Bbb R^n)$ imply $u\in S(\Bbb R^n)$.
My question why if $u\in L^2(\Bbb R^n): Tu =\lambda u$. Then $u\in S(\Bbb R^n)$.
where $\...

Existence of Green functions and some properties
Let $\Omega$ be a smooth domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 3$, $p\in \Omega$ is a fixed point, $\lambda$ is a parameter (can be 0,>0,<0), if there exisits a Green function $G_{\lambda}(x,p)$ ...

Eigenvalues of the Laplacian and min-max formula in any space dimension
In which reference book can I find a proof that the eigenvalue of the Laplace operator in a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^d$ with $d \ge 1$ are given by
$$
\lambda_1 = \min_{u \in H^1_0(\Omega), \|...

Bounding $(\int_{S^1}\left|\partial_r u(r\omega)\right|^2 d\omega)^{1/2}$ with $(\iint \frac{|u(x)-u(y)|^2}{|x-y|^{2+2s}} dxdy)^{1/2} $?
The following inequality is trivially true
$$\left(\int_{S^1}\left|\frac{\partial u}{\partial r}(r\omega)\right|^2 d\omega\right)^{1/2} \le \left(\int_{S^1}\left|\nabla u(r\omega)\right|^2 d\omega\...

Elliptic equation with Neumann boundary condition: RHS in $L^2$ implies solution in $L^\infty$?
Consider the homogeneous Neumann problem $$-\Delta u + ku = f$$ $$\partial_\nu u = 0$$
on a smooth, bounded domain $\Omega$.
If $f \in L^2(\Omega)$, do we obtain the regularity $u \in L^\infty(\...

Local "boundary comparison principle" for harmonic functions
Let $u$ be a positive solution of the elliptic equation $\mathcal Lu = 0$ on $B^+_1 \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ such that $u$ vanishes continuously on $\{x_n = 0\}$. To fix ideas, we may take $\mathcal L = ...

Harnack Inequality for uniformly elliptic PDE via constructing a singularity
I am trying to prove a Harnack inequality for a nonnegative subsolution $u \in H^1(B_2)$ to the PDE $\text{div}(A Du) \ge 0$, where $A = A(x)$ is uniformly elliptic. The proof outline I am following ...

A question on weak formulation of the p-laplacian operator
Can it be said that $$\int_{\Omega}\Delta_p u |\phi|^{p-2}\phi dx=\int_{\Omega}\Delta_p \phi |u|^{p-2}u dx\qquad\forall \phi\in C_0^2(\overline{\Omega})$$ is the generalized weak formulation of $$\...

Harmonic function with Dirichlet boundary condition
Consider the domain $D = \{(x_1, x_2,.., x_n) \in \mathbb{R}^n : 0 \leq x_i \leq 1\}$. Let $D$ be divided into two parts $D_1$ and $D_2$ by the hyperplane $H = \{x_1 = \frac{1}{2}\}$. My question is: ...
