3/2 Sobolev Norm on the boundary of a bounded open subset of $\Bbb R^n$

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n}$ be a open bounded set and $\partial\Omega$ be the boundary of $\Omega$. Following the reference text by Alois Kufner, Oldřich John and Svatopluk Fučík, Function ...

The sharpest regularity result of elliptic PDEs: conditions on the variable coefficients

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be open and bounded with a sufficiently smooth boundary. Let $L$ be a second order differential operator with variable coefficients, given by $$Lu = \partial_i(a^{ij}...

How to show $\lVert\Delta u_n- \Delta u\rVert_{L^2(0,T; \,H^2(\Omega))} \to 0$ ? $(\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2)$

Let $u_n, \nabla u_n, \Delta u_n, \nabla \Delta u_n, \Delta^2 u_n$ be uniformly bounded in $L^2((0,T) \times \Omega)$ where $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2, u=\Delta u =0$ on $\partial \Omega$. Assume ...

Understanding spaces of negative regularity

I apologize if this question is too basic for this site, but I posted it on mathSE and did not get any responses (link can be found here) so I'm crossposting it here. Let $C^k(\mathbb{R}^n$) be the ...

Show $v(x,t) \in L^2([0,T];H^2(\mathbb{R}))$ when $v(x,t)$ is a transformation of a $L^2([0,T];H^2(\mathbb{R}))$ function

Context: I am reading a paper on Long-Time Asymptotics of the thin film equations, in which the authors consider the strong solutions of the thin film equation in 1-D and transform them using a time-...

Variational problems living in two different Sobolev spaces

Is there a general reference concerning variational problems living in $W^{h,p}\times W^{k,p}$, with $h, k\in\mathbb{N}_0$ not coinciding? I'm thinking to problems of type: $$\inf_{u,v}\int_{\Omega} ...

Regularity results for non uniform elliptic equation

I have seen some regularity result for ellptic PDE but all of them consist of uniform elliptic one. For instance, $$\nabla \cdot (\gamma(x) \nabla u)=F \text{ in } \Omega\qquad u=\phi \text{ on }\...

Integrability condition on function determining PDE domain

I'm currently looking through the following paper which examines some dynamics of the Airy$_2$ process: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1106.2717.pdf On page 2, there appears a PDE of the form $\partial_t u +...

Embedding of weighted sobolev space with exponential weights

In the book by Bensoussan and Lions, they introduce the weighted spaces with exponentially decaying weights to study elliptic equations with bounded coefficients on the whole space $\mathbb{R}^n$. ...

Need a regularity result for parabolic PDE, want $u' \in L^\infty((0,T)\times \Omega)$

Let us assume $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is as nice as required. Let $f \in L^\infty((0,T)\times \Omega)$ and let $g \in L^\infty((0,T)\times \Omega)$ satisfy $$0 < a \leq g(x,t) \leq b < \...

reference request: trace/lifting operator for $L^{\infty}$ data in bounded $\Omega\subset R^d$

I know the answer to my question must be somewhere in the literature. Probably in [Adams-Fournier], [Dautray-Lions] or something alike, but I don't have access to a library right now so I'll ask ...
