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 $alpha =0$
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.
In this paper, we study parabolic equations in divergence form with coefficients that are singular degenerate as some Muckenhoupt weight functions in one spatial variable. Under certain conditions, weighted reverse H{o}lders inequalities are established. Lipschitz estimates for weak solutions are proved for homogeneous equations with singular degenerate coefficients depending only on one spatial variable. These estimates are then used to establish interior, boundary, and global weighted estimates of Calder{o}n-Zygmund type for weak solutions, assuming that the coefficients are partially VMO (vanishing mean oscillations) with respect to the considered weights. The solvability in weighted Sobolev spaces is also achieved. Our results are new even for elliptic equations, and non-trivially extend known results for uniformly elliptic and parabolic equations. The results are also useful in the study of fractional elliptic and parabolic equations with measurable coefficients.
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.
Let $ngeq 3$, $0le m<frac{n-2}{n}$, $rho_1>0$, $beta>beta_0^{(m)}=frac{mrho_1}{n-2-nm}$, $alpha_m=frac{2beta+rho_1}{1-m}$ and $alpha=2beta+rho_1$. For any $lambda>0$, we prove the uniqueness of radially symmetric solution $v^{(m)}$ of $La(v^m/m)+alpha_m v+beta xcdot abla v=0$, $v>0$, in $R^nsetminus{0}$ which satisfies $lim_{|x|to 0}|x|^{frac{alpha_m}{beta}}v^{(m)}(x)=lambda^{-frac{rho_1}{(1-m)beta}}$ and obtain higher order estimates of $v^{(m)}$ near the blow-up point $x=0$. We prove that as $mto 0^+$, $v^{(m)}$ converges uniformly in $C^2(K)$ for any compact subset $K$ of $R^nsetminus{0}$ to the solution $v$ of $Lalog v+alpha v+beta xcdot abla v=0$, $v>0$, in $R^nbs{0}$, which satisfies $lim_{|x|to 0}|x|^{frac{alpha}{beta}}v(x)=lambda^{-frac{rho_1}{beta}}$. We also prove that if the solution $u^{(m)}$ of $u_t=Delta (u^m/m)$, $u>0$, in $(R^nsetminus{0})times (0,T)$ which blows up near ${0}times (0,T)$ at the rate $|x|^{-frac{alpha_m}{beta}}$ satisfies some mild growth condition on $(R^nsetminus{0})times (0,T)$, then as $mto 0^+$, $u^{(m)}$ converges uniformly in $C^{2+theta,1+frac{theta}{2}}(K)$ for some constant $thetain (0,1)$ and any compact subset $K$ of $(R^nsetminus{0})times (0,T)$ to the solution of $u_t=Lalog u$, $u>0$, in $(R^nsetminus{0})times (0,T)$. As a consequence of the proof we obtain existence of a unique radially symmetric solution $v^{(0)}$ of $La log v+alpha v+beta xcdot abla v=0$, $v>0$, in $R^nsetminus{0}$, which satisfies $lim_{|x|to 0}|x|^{frac{alpha}{beta}}v(x)=lambda^{-frac{rho_1}{beta}}$.
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.
