$C^0$ estimate for solutions of elliptic PDE with Neumann BC

Suppose for simplicity that $M$ is a compact n-dimensional submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with boundary. Extend $f$ to all $\mathbb{R}^n$ so that it's $0$ outside $M$ and define the function $u_1(x) := …

Conformal Killing vector fields on manifolds that are not asymptotically flat

Let $M = [1,\infty) \times S^2$. Equip $M$ with the metric $g = dr^2 + r^2 (\gamma + h)$ where $\gamma$ is a metric on $S^2$ and $h$ is a $(0,2)$ tensor on $M$ that satisfies $$h = O(1/r),\quad \part …

Estimating a solution to Euler-type ODE #2

This is a similar question to this but with a different ODE. Let $f$ be a continuous function in $L^2([1,\infty)$ satisfying $\sup_{r\geq 1} r|f(r)| <\infty$. Let $\ell$ be a positive integer, $R>1$, …

Solvability of a PDE involving the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator

Let $M = \mathbb{R}^3 \setminus B_1$ where $B_1$ is the unit ball (equip $M$ with the euclidean metric for simplicity, but it will be replaced by an arbitrary asymptotically flat metric). Let $N: L^2( …
