Reference request: Parabolic Schauder estimates for the heat equation with $f \in L^\infty$
Let us consider the heat equation
$$\partial_t u - \Delta u = f(x, t) \quad \text{in }Q_R $$
where $Q_R = B_R \times (-R^2,0].$ I would like to know the kind of regularity we should expect of $u$ if ...

$T$ trace, then $Tg(u)=g(T(u))$ for all $u$ on $W^{1,p}$
The trace operator $T$ is defined for bounded domain $U$ with $C^1$ boundaries as the linear, continuous operator
$T: W^{1,p}(U) \rightarrow L^p(\partial U)$
such that
$$
Tu=u\;\text{ on }\partial U
$$...

Trace-class heat semigroups
Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold and $\Delta_g$ its Laplace operator.
Let $\varphi$ be a test function on $\mathbf{R}_{>0}$. We define the operator on, say, $L^2(M)$
$$T_{\varphi}(u) :=...

Elliptic regularity when the Lagrangian is possibly infinite
I want to solve variational problems of the form
$$\inf_u \int_{-1}^1 \phi(u'(x)) \text{ with } u(-1)=u(1) = 0,$$
where $\phi(p)$ is convex and is allowed to take on the value $+\infty$ for some ...

Relationships between fractional Sobolev space, Bessel spacse and Hajłasz–Sobolev space
It is known that for $\alpha\in(0,1)$ and $p>1$,
the fractional Sobolev space $W^{\alpha,p}(R^n)$ is defined by
$$
W^{\alpha,p}(R^n):=\{f\in L^p(R^n):\int_{R^n}\int_{R^n}\frac{|f(x)-f(y)|^p}{|x-y|^...

Parabolic PDE Long Time Asymptotics and Elliptic Operator Spectrum II
This is a follow-up on a previous question. Now the parabolic PDE of $P(t,x,v)$ has two spatial dimensions.
$$
\partial_t P = L^* P \tag1
$$
$$L^*P = \frac12\left(\kappa^2\frac{\partial^2}{\partial v^...

Is the Lopatinski-Shapiro condition invariant under diffeomorphism?
If a PDE (eg. the heat equation with Robin BCs, or the elliptic version) on a bounded smooth domain $U$ satisfies the Lopatinski-Shapiro condition (for a definition see eg. Wloka), and if $T:U \to W$ ...
