Hölder Gradient Estimates for Linear Elliptic Equations in higher dimensions

Yes, Safonov showed here that, for any $\alpha \in (0,\,1)$, there is a function $u$ on $\mathbb{R}^3$ that is homogeneous of degree $\alpha$ (in particular has unbounded gradient) and solves a linear …

Estimates of $\Delta|\nabla u|$ for harmonic function $u$

Yes, this inequality is true, and in fact the assumption about the smallness of $D^2u$ in $L^{2p}$ is not needed. Using that $|\nabla u|$ is $\epsilon$-close to one in $L^1(B_2)$, we can find a point …

Are all positive eigenfunctions principal eigenfunctions?

Another argument perhaps worth mentioning uses the maximum principle. To illustrate the idea we assume that $\Omega$ is a smooth bounded domain, that $L = \Delta$, and that we are dealing with Dirichl …

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

Yes, I think the estimate you propose is true. As a simple case take $f = 0$ and $M = B_1 \subset \mathbb{R}^n$. By adding a constant assume that $\inf_{B_1} u = 0$ and $\sup_{B_1}u = K,$ and note tha …

Regularity of Newtonian potential along smooth boundary

One more perspective: after performing a diffeomorphism that locally flattens the boundary, we get an equation of the form $$a_{ij}(x)w_{ij} + b_i(x)w_i = f(x_n) \text{ in } B_1,$$ where the coefficie …

'Degenerate' tangent point of a minimal graph

Yes, this is possible. Consider the intersection of the helicoid $z = \tan^{-1}(y/x)$ with its tangent plane $z = y$ at $(1,0,0)$. The projection of the intersection curves to $\{z = 0\}$ consists of …

Optimal assumption on H^2 regularity

One cannot weaken the regularity hypothesis on $A$ to $C^{\alpha}$. Consider for example the 1D case: when $f = 0$ the solution $u$ satisfies $$u'(x) = \frac{const.}{A(x)},$$ which is not in $H^1$ for …

Doubts in first lemma in the paper of Adams regarding sharp Moser inequality

For the second, rewrite $F(t) \leq \lambda$ as $$t - \lambda \leq \left(\int_{\mathbb{R}} a(s,\,t)\phi(s)\,ds\right)^q,$$ which reduces the problem to showing that $$\int_{\mathbb{R}} a(s,\,t)\phi(s)\ …

Bernstein's corollary for the case of half space

Here is a counterexample: let $$u(x,y) = e^{-x^2}\sinh(y).$$ Then $$\det D^2u = -2e^{-2x^2}(\sinh^2(y) + 2x^2) < 0 \text{ ơn } \mathbb{R}^2 \backslash \{0\},$$ and the equation $$u_{xx} + (2-4x^2)u_{y …

Estimates on the second-order derivatives for degenerate Monge-Ampere equations

This inequality comes from scaling. Assume that $f$ satisfies $|D^2f| \leq 1$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $f \geq 0$. It suffices to prove that $$|\nabla f(0)|^2 \leq 2f(0).$$ Equality holds if $f(0) = 0$, …

Reference request: continuity of the derivatives of the (fundamental) solution to a paraboli...

The equation for $q = p_x$ can be written in divergence form as $$q_t + b(t)q_x + (D(t,\,x)q_x)_x = 0,$$ so Nash's theorem (which applies to divergence-form equations) implies that $p_x$ is Holder con …

Higher regularity of solutions of non-linear elliptic PDE

It is true and well-known (assuming $F$ is e.g. uniformly elliptic). The idea is sketched in ch. 9 of the book by Caffarelli-Cabre, but I am not sure of a precise reference at this level of generality …

Points where harmonic functions fail to give a coordinates system

To rule out the trivial case that one of the $f_j$ is a nonzero constant, I interpret the linear independence condition as saying that no nontrivial linear combination of the $f_j$ is constant. The se …

Vanishing rate of a harmonic function near a boundary point

There is a counterexample. Consider the harmonic function $$u(x,y) = Re\left(e^{-1/z^2}\right) = e^{-\frac{x^2-y^2}{r^4}}\cos\left(\frac{2xy}{r^4}\right),$$ where $r^2 = x^2 + y^2$. We have that $$u(x …

Does the difference of solutions of two unrelated PDE solve an 'intermediate' equation?

$U = 2x^2-y^2$ and $u = x^2-2y^2$ solve constant-coefficient elliptic equations, but $U - u = x^2 + y^2$ has an interior minimum and thus cannot solve an elliptic equation.
