T. Carleman's method on eigenvalues asymptotics

All approaches I am familiar with are based on some Tauberian theorem: one obtains informations about various weighted counts of eigenvalues and then one removes the weights via some Tauberian theor …

Schauder estimates for higher order linear elliptic operator on manifold

The result is true with some caveats. Under your assumptions we have the following results. 1. If $u\in W^{2k,2}(M)$ and $Lu\in C^{j,\alpha}(M)$, then $u\in C^{2k+j,\alpha}(M)$. 2. There exists $C> …

analytic solution to elliptic PDE in R^n

When $L$ has analytic coefficients, any solution of $Lu=0$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is automatically analytic. You should be asking about conditions guaranteeing that the only solution of this equation is $ …

First order Elliptic operator

Here is a simple way of producing first order elliptic operators $\newcommand{\bR}{\mathbb{R}}$ $C^\infty(\mathbb{R}^n, W)\to C^\infty(\bR^n, W)$ with constant coefficients. Denote by $L(W)$ the s …

How to define the square root of $1-\Delta $?

There is a general result of Seeley which states that if $A$ is an elliptic, selfadjoint positive scalar pseudo-differential operator of order $k$ on a compact Riemann manifold, then for any $\newc …

Moser regularity proof avoiding John-Nirenberg lemma

Try this old book by Guido Stampacchia Équations elliptiques du second ordre à coefficients discontinus, Presses de l'Université de Montréal 1966. If you cannot find this try this clasic by Olga La …

Interior smooth regularity

I assume that you require $f\in C^\infty(U)$. You do not need regularity of the boundary of $U\subset \mathbb{R}^N$. The condition $u\in H^m_{loc}(U)$ is equivalent with $\widetilde{\phi u}\in H^m(\ …

Proving that solutions to elliptic PDE is analytic using Cauchy–Kovalevskaya theorem?

Standard regularity theory guarantees that $u$ is smooth. If you want to use Cauchy-Kovaleskaya you would need to know that both $g$ and $\frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu}$ are real analytic: these a …

Why should the map $-\Delta^{-1}$ be continuous?

First of all, there should be a constraint on the exponent $\tau$ to guarantee certain integrability conditions. Define $$n^*:=\frac{2(n+\lambda)}{n-2}, $$ where $n$ denotes the dimension of the ba …

Explicit eigenvalues of the Laplacian

In principle, one can compute the spectrum of any homogeneous compact Riemannian manifold because in this case the problem is essentially representation theoretic. However, performing this computation …

Bound deg 3 partial differential operator on Laplace eigenfunction?

If you are on a compact domain $\Omega$in $\mathbb{R}^n$ you need to impose some elliptic boundary conditions or it is difficult to make predictions. Assume for simlicity that $f$ satisfies the D …
