We study boundary gradient estimates for second-order divergence type parabolic and elliptic systems in $C^{1,alpha}$ domains. The coefficients and data are assumed to be Holder in the time variable and all but one spatial variables. This type of systems arises from the problems of linearly elastic laminates and composite materials.
For a general class of divergence type quasi-linear degenerate parabolic equations with differentiable structure and lower order coefficients form bounded with respect to the Laplacian we obtain $L^q$-estimates for the gradients of solutions, and for the lower order coefficients from a Kato-type class we show that the solutions are Lipschitz continuous with respect to the space variable.
We consider parabolic systems with nonlinear dynamic boundary conditions, for which we give a rigorous derivation. Then, we give them several physical interpretations which includes an interpretation for the porous-medium equation, and for certain reaction-diffusion systems that occur in mathematical biology and ecology. We devise several strategies which imply (uniform)}$L^{p} and}$L^{infty}$ estimates on the solutions for the initial value problems considered.
This paper studies the Sobolev regularity estimates of weak solutions of a class of singular quasi-linear elliptic problems of the form $u_t - mbox{div}[mathbb{A}(x,t,u, abla u)]= mbox{div}[{mathbf F}]$ with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions over bounded spatial domains. Our main focus is on the case that the vector coefficients $mathbb{A}$ are discontinuous and singular in $(x,t)$-variables, and dependent on the solution $u$. Global and interior weighted $W^{1,p}(Omega, omega)$-regularity estimates are established for weak solutions of these equations, where $omega$ is a weight function in some Muckenhoupt class of weights. The results obtained are even new for linear equations, and for $omega =1$, because of the singularity of the coefficients in $(x,t)$-variables
We discuss counterexamples to the validity of the weak Maximum Principle for linear elliptic systems with zero and first order couplings and prove, through a suitable reduction to a nonlinear scalar equation, a quite general result showing that some algebraic condition on the structure of gradient couplings and a cooperativity condition on the matrix of zero order couplings guarantee the existence of invariant cones in the sense of Weinberger [21].
This paper is focused on the local interior $W^{1,infty}$-regularity for weak solutions of degenerate elliptic equations of the form $text{div}[mathbf{a}(x,u, abla u)] +b(x, u, abla u) =0$, which include those of $p$-Laplacian type. We derive an explicit estimate of the local $L^infty$-norm for the solutions gradient in terms of its local $L^p$-norm. Specifically, we prove begin{equation*} | abla u|_{L^infty(B_{frac{R}{2}}(x_0))}^p leq frac{C}{|B_R(x_0)|}int_{B_R(x_0)}| abla u(x)|^p dx. end{equation*} This estimate paves the way for our forthcoming work in establishing $W^{1,q}$-estimates (for $q>p$) for weak solutions to a much larger class of quasilinear elliptic equations.
