Fundamental solution of an elliptic PDE in divergence form with non-symmetric matrix

This question requires an articulated answer, since the topic dealt is complex and ramified. A fundamental solution for a not necessarily divergence form $2$nd order elliptic system with $C^{2,h}$ coe …

Representing a nonlinear elliptic PDE as an energy minimization problem

As already said by Kosh, you are trying to solve an inverse problem in the calculus of variation: in its classical formulation, given a system of PDE, the problem consists in finding a functional whos …

How to prove the second Korn inequality?

You can find a full proof (to my knowledge the simpler one currently known) in the paper [1] and in the book [2], chapter I, §2.1 pp. 14-21. The original proof of Arthur Korn is so long and involved t …

Proof of Littman-Stampacchia-Weinberger theorem on the fundamental solution for elliptic PDEs

Perhaps the best self contained reference on this result is the book [2] by Stampacchia himself. It is a set of typewritten course notes in French, taken from a graduate course on elliptic equations h …

Reinforced Maximum Principle

As soon as $n=2$, and $A$ is a symmetric matrix, the answer is surely yes: $u$ has no critical points in $U$. Indeed, we can have a look at what is possibly (to my knowledge) the most recent paper on …

Reference request on Pucci extremal operators

The original references are the works of Pucci [2] and [3] which, however, are written in Italian. A perhaps more accessible introduction to these kind of operators is found in the monograph [1], §2.2 …

Reference request: Parabolic Equations

Premise This is a long, possibly tedious, comment. In my opinion, the problem with new books on such topics is that in most cases their contents are either expositions of the classical theory or speci …

Contours for harmonic functions in bounded domains

I am not sure if I have correctly understood your question, but it seems to me that you are searching for a method of finding harmonic functions based on tomography/integral geometry: roughly speaking …

About the Hausdorff dimension of removable singularities of PDE

I am not familiar with the current studies on the Hausdorff dimension of the singular set of solutions to PDE, but I know that in [1] a necessary and sufficient condition for the holding of Hartogs ph …

Euler-Lagrange equation for a functional

It means that the functional derivative of $J(u)$ is zero (i.e. $J(u)$ has $u$ as a stationary point) if the function $u$ solves the given divergence form PDE, i.e. $$\DeclareMathOperator{\divg}{\math …
