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 study both divergence and non-divergence form parabolic and elliptic equations in the half space ${x_d>0}$ whose coefficients are the product of $x_d^alpha$ and uniformly nondegenerate bounded measurable matrix-valued functions, where $alpha in (-1, infty)$. As such, the coefficients are singular or degenerate near the boundary of the half space. For equations with the conormal or Neumann boundary condition, we prove the existence, uniqueness, and regularity of solutions in weighted Sobolev spaces and mixed-norm weighted Sobolev spaces when the coefficients are only measurable in the $x_d$ direction and have small mean oscillation in the other directions in small cylinders. Our results are new even in the special case when the coefficients are constants, and they are reduced to the classical results when $alpha =0$
In this paper, we study both elliptic and parabolic equations in non-divergence form with singular degenerate coefficients. Weighted and mixed-norm $L_p$-estimates and solvability are established under some suitable partially weighted BMO regularity conditions on the coefficients. When the coefficients are constants, the operators are reduced to extensional operators which arise in the study of fractional heat equations and fractional Laplace equations. Our results are new even in this setting and in the unmixed case. For the proof, we establish both interior and boundary Lipschitz estimates for solutions and for higher order derivatives of solutions to homogeneous equations. We then employ the perturbation method by using the Fefferman-Stein sharp function theorem, the Hardy-Littlewood maximum function theorem, as well as a weighted Hardys inequality.
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.
This paper continues the development of regularity results for quasilinear measure data problems begin{align*} begin{cases} -mathrm{div}(A(x, abla u)) &= mu quad text{in} Omega, quad quad qquad u &=0 quad text{on} partial Omega, end{cases} end{align*} in Lorentz and Lorentz-Morrey spaces, where $Omega subset mathbb{R}^n$ ($n ge 2$), $mu$ is a finite Radon measure on $Omega$, and $A$ is a monotone Caratheodory vector valued operator acting between $W^{1,p}_0(Omega)$ and its dual $W^{-1,p}(Omega)$. It emphasizes that this paper studies the `very singular case $1<p le frac{3n-2}{2n-1}$ and the problem is considered under the weak assumption, where the $p$-capacity uniform thickness condition is imposed on the complement of domain $Omega$. There are two main results obtained in our study pertaining to the global gradient estimates of solutions in Lorentz and Lorentz-Morrey spaces involving the use of maximal and fractional maximal operators. The idea for writing this working paper comes directly from the recent results by others in the same research topic, where global estimates for gradient of solutions for the `very singular case still remains a challenge, specifically related to Lorentz and Lorentz-Morrey spaces.
We consider the Dirichlet problem for a class of elliptic and parabolic equations in the upper-half space $mathbb{R}^d_+$, where the coefficients are the product of $x_d^alpha, alpha in (-infty, 1),$ and a bounded uniformly elliptic matrix of coefficients. Thus, the coefficients are singular or degenerate near the boundary ${x_d =0}$ and they may not locally integrable. The novelty of the work is that we find proper weights under which the existence, uniqueness, and regularity of solutions in Sobolev spaces are established. These results appear to be the first of their kind and are new even if the coefficients are constant. They are also readily extended to systems of equations.
