In this paper, we present counterexamples showing that for any $pin (1,infty)$, $p eq 2$, there is a non-divergence form uniformly elliptic operator with piecewise constant coefficients in $mathbb{R}^2$ (constant on each quadrant in $mathbb{R}^2$) for which there is no $W^2_p$ estimate. The corresponding examples in the divergence case are also discussed. One implication of these examples is that the ranges of $p$ are sharp in the recent results obtained in [4,5] for non-divergence type elliptic and parabolic equations in a half space with the Dirichlet or Neumann boundary condition when the coefficients do not have any regularity in a tangential direction.
In this note we establish existence and uniqueness of weak solutions of linear elliptic equation $text{div}[mathbf{A}(x) abla u] = text{div}{mathbf{F}(x)}$, where the matrix $mathbf{A}$ is just measurable and its skew-symmetric part can be unbounded. Global reverse H{o}lders regularity estimates for gradients of weak solutions are also obtained. Most importantly, we show, by providing an example, that boundedness and ellipticity of $mathbf{A}$ is not sufficient for higher integrability estimates even when the symmetric part of $mathbf{A}$ is the identity matrix. In addition, the example also shows the necessity of the dependence of $alpha$ in the H{o}lder $C^alpha$-regularity theory on the textup{BMO}-semi norm of the skew-symmetric part of $mathbf{A}$. The paper is an extension of classical results obtained by N. G. Meyers (1963) in which the skew-symmetric part of $mathbf{A}$ is assumed to be zero.
We present a new method for the existence and pointwise estimates of a Greens function of non-divergence form elliptic operator with Dini mean oscillation coefficients. We also present a sharp comparison with the corresponding Greens function for constant coefficients equations.
We prove generalized Fefferman-Stein type theorems on sharp functions with $A_p$ weights in spaces of homogeneous type with either finite or infinite underlying measure. We then apply these results to establish mixed-norm weighted $L_p$-estimates for elliptic and parabolic equations/systems with (partially) BMO coefficients in regular or irregular domains.
We study stationary Stokes systems in divergence form with piecewise Dini mean oscillation coefficients and data in a bounded domain containing a finite number of subdomains with $C^{1,rm{Dini}}$ boundaries. We prove that if $(u, p)$ is a weak solution of the system, then $(Du, p)$ is bounded and piecewise continuous. The corresponding results for stationary Navier-Stokes systems are also established, from which the Lipschitz regularity of the stationary $H^1$-weak solution in dimensions $d=2,3,4$ is obtained.
In this paper, we show $C^{2,alpha}$ interior estimates for viscosity solutions of fully non-linear, uniformly elliptic equations, which are close to linear equations and we also compute an explicit bound for the closeness.
