Schauder estimate for $f \in L^\infty$
I was reading an article where at some point the author uses the following estimate:
Let $u$ be a solution of
$$\Delta u = f \quad \text{in } B_1$$
for $f \in L^\infty$. Then $u \in C^{1,1 - \...

Embeddings of the maximal domain for the Laplacian
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded smooth domain and $n \geq 2$. Consider the subspace of $L^2$-functions whose distributional Laplacian is also an $L^2$-function:
$$D = \left\{ f \in L^2(\...

Maximizing the first Neumann eigenvalue on disks
Let $D^2$ be a smooth disk and for any Riemannian metric in $D$, let $\mu_1(g)$ be the first positive Neumann eigenvalue of the Laplacian on $(D, g)$. Li and Yau proved that
$$\mu_1(g) \operatorname{...

Why should the map $-\Delta^{-1}$ be continuous?
I'm reading an article by Wei-Ming Ni about the existence of solutions for the elliptic problem $$\Delta u +|x|^\lambda |u|^\tau =0,$$
in the unit ball $\Omega$ in dimension $>2$. I'm looking for ...
