This is the first part of a series of researches devoted to the study of Dirichlet problem for fully non-linear elliptic equations on complex manifolds, which include [arXiv:2001.09238], [arXiv:2106.14837], [Pure Appl. Math. Q. 16 (2020), 1585-1617; MR4221006] and [Calc. Var. PDE. 60 (2021), Paper No. 162, 20 pp.; MR4290375]
In this paper we propose new insights and ideas to set up quantitative boundary estimates for solutions to Dirichlet problem of a class of fully non-linear elliptic equations on compact Hermitian manifolds with real analytic Levi flat boundary. With the quantitative boundary estimates at hand, we can establish the gradient estimate and give a unified approach to investigate the existence and regularity of solutions of Dirichlet problem with sufficiently smooth boundary data, which include the geodesic equation in the space of Kähler metrics as a special case. Our method can also be applied to Dirichlet problem for analogous fully non-linear elliptic equations on a compact Riemannian manifold with concave boundary.
Under structural conditions which are almost optimal, we derive a quantitative version of boundary estimate then prove existence of solutions to Dirichlet problem for a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations on Hermitian manifolds.
We study a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations on closed Hermitian manifolds. We derive $C^\infty$ {\em a priori} estimates, and then prove the existence of admissible solutions. In the approach, a new Hermitian metic is constructed to launch the method of continuity.
In this paper, we establish a priori estimates for solutions of a general class of fully non-linear equations on compact almost Hermitian manifolds. As an application, we solve the complex Hessian equation and the Monge--Ampère equation for $(n-1)$-plurisubharmonic equations in the almost Hermitian setting.
We derive the solvability and regularity of the Dirichlet problem for fully non-linear elliptic equations possibly with degenerate right-hand side on Hermitian manifolds, through establishing a quantitative version of boundary estimate under a subsolution assumption. In addition, we construct the subsolution when the background manifold is a product of a closed Hermitian manifold with a compact Riemann surface with boundary.
We establish a general theorem improving regularity of solutions of elliptic pseudodifferential equations. It allows to resolve in a unified way the regularity issue for a broad class of nonlinear elliptic equations and systems appearing in different areas of geometry and analysis.
We study a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations on closed Hermitian manifolds. Under the assumption of cone condition, we derive the $L^\infty$ estimate directly.
We prove stability of solutions of the complex Monge-Ampère equation on compact Hermitian manifolds, when the right hand side varies in a bounded set in $L^p, p>1$ and it is bounded away from zero. Such solutions are shown to be Hölder continuous. As an application we extend a recent result of Székelyhidi and Tosatti on Kähler-Einstein equation from Kähler to Hermitian manifolds.
In this paper, we establish second order estimates for a general class of fully nonlinear equations with linear gradient terms on compact almost Hermitian manifolds. As an application, we first prove the existence of solutions for the Monge-Ampère equation with linear gradient terms for $(n-1)$-plurisubharmonic functions, originated from Gaudochon conjecture, in the almost Hermitian setting. Second, we solve the Monge-Ampère equation and Hessian equations with linear gradient terms. Third, we give the $C^{\infty}$ a priori estimates for the deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation with supercrit…
We derive a priori second order estimates for fully nonlinear elliptic equations which depend on the gradients of solutions in critical ways on Hermitian manifolds. The global estimates we obtained apply to an equation arising from a conjecture by Gauduchon which extends the Calabi conjecture; this was one of the original motivations to this work. We were also motivated by the fact that there had been increasing interests in fully nonlinear pde's from complex geometry in recent years, and aimed to develop general methods to cover as wide a class of equations as possible.
In this paper, we prove the $C^{1, 1}$-regularity of the plurisubharmonic envelope of a $C^{1,1}$ function on a compact Hermitian manifold. We also present examples to show this regularity is sharp.
Let $(X,ω)$ be a compact Hermitian manifold. We establish a stability result for solutions to complex Monge-Ampère equations with right-hand side in $L^p$, $p>1$. Using this we prove that the solutions are Hölder continuous with the same exponent as in the Kähler case \cite{DDGKPZ14}. Our techniques also apply to the setting of big cohomology classes on compact Kähler manifolds.
In this paper, we study Hessian equations and complex quotient equations on closed Hermitian manifolds. We directly derive the uniform estimate for the admissible solution. As an application, we solve general Hessian equations on closed Kähler manifolds.
We obtain local pointwise second derivative estimates for $W^{2,p}$-strong solutions to a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations on Euclidean domains, motivated by problems in conformal geometry.
Using simple facts from harmonic analysis, namely Bernstein inequality and Plansherel isometry, we prove that the pseudodifferential equation $Δ^αu+Vu=0$ improves the Sobolev regularity of solutions provided the potential $V$ is integrable with the critical power $n/2α>1$.
In this paper we investigate the regularity and solvability of solutions to Dirichlet problem for fully non-linear elliptic equations with gradient terms on Hermitian manifolds, which include among others the Monge-Ampère equation for $(n-1)$-plurisubharmonic functions. Some significantly new features of regularity assumptions on the boundary and boundary data are obtained, which reveal how the shape of the boundary influences such regularity assumptions. Such new features follow from quantitative boundary estimates which specifically enable us to apply a blow-up argument to derive the gradien…
We consider a class of fully nonlinear second order elliptic equations on Hermitian manifolds closely related to the general notion of $\bfG$-plurisubharmonicity of Harvey-Lawson and an equation treated by Székelyhidi-Tosatti-Weinkove in the proof of Gauduchon conjecture. Under fairly general assumptions we derive interior estimates and establish the existence of smooth solutions for the Dirichlet problem as well as for equations on closed manifolds.
We derive a priori $C^2$ estimates for a class of complex Monge-Ampere type equations on Hermitian manifolds. As an application we solve the Dirichlet problem for these equations under the assumption of existence of a subsolution; the existence result, as well as the second order boundary estimates, is new even for bounded domains in $\bfC^n$.
We establish interior Lipschitz regularity for continuous viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear, conformally invariant, degenerate elliptic equations. As a by-product of our method, we also prove a weak form of the strong comparison principle, which we refer to as the principle of propagation of touching points, for operators of the form $\nabla^2 ψ+ L(x,ψ,\nabla ψ)$ which are non-decreasing in $ψ$.
We derive a priori second order estimates for solutions of a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations on Riemannian manifolds under some very general structure conditions. We treat both equations on closed manifolds, and the Dirichlet problem on manifolds with boundary without any geometric restrictions to the boundary except being smooth and compact. As applications of these estimates we obtain results on regularity and existence.
We show uniqueness of cylindrical blowups for mean curvature flow in all dimension and all codimension. Cylindrical singularities are known to be the most important; they are the most prevalent in any codimension. Mean curvature flow in higher codimension is a nonlinear parabolic system where many of the methods used for hypersurfaces do not apply and uniqueness of cylindrical blowups remained a major open problem. Our results imply regularity of the singular set for the system.
We give dimension-free regularity conditions for a class of possibly degenerate sub-elliptic equations in the Heisenberg group exhibiting super-quadratic growth in the horizontal gradient; this solves an issue raised by Manfredi & Mingione (Math. Ann. 2007) where only dimension dependent bounds for the growth exponent are given. We also obtain explicit a priori local regularity estimates, and cover the case of the horizontal p-Laplacean operator, extending some regularity proven by Domokos & Manfredi (Cont. Math. 2005). In turn, the a priori estimates found are shown to imply the suitable loca…
In the present paper, we investigate the regularity and symmetry properties of weak solutions to semilinear elliptic equations which are locally stable.
We establish an optimal C^{1,α}-regularity for viscosity solutions of degenerate/singular fully nonlinear elliptic equations by finding minimal regularity requirements on the associated operator.
In this note we study the global regularity in the Morrey spaces for the second derivatives for the strong solutions of non variational elliptic equations.
We obtain an explicit Hölder regularity result for viscosity solutions of a class of second order fully nonlinear equations leaded by operator that are neither convex/concave nor uniformly elliptic.
In this work we study regularity properties of solutions to fractional elliptic problems with mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary data when dealing with the Spectral Fractional Laplacian.
We prove a $C^{1,α}$ interior regularity theorem for fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic integro-differential equations without assuming any regularity of the kernel. We then give some applications to linear theory and higher regularity of a special class of nonlinear operators.
We prove a Meyers type regularity estimate for approximate solutions of second order elliptic equations obtained by Galerkin methods. The proofs rely on interpolation results for Sobolev spaces on graphs. Estimates for second order elliptic operators on rather general graphs are also obtained.
In this paper, we study the regularity of weak solutions to a class of nonlocal elliptic equations in Bessel potential spaces $H^{s,p}$. Our main results can be seen as an extension of the well-known $W^{1,p}$ regularity theory for local second-order elliptic equations in divergence form to the nonlocal setting.
We establish sharp global regularity results for solutions to nonhomogeneous, nonunifomrly elliptic systems with zero boundary conditions. In particular, we obtain everywhere Lipschitz continuity under borderline Lorentz assumptions on the forcing term, thus positively settling the optimality issue raised in \cite{bdms}.
In this paper we study the existence and partial regularity of weak solutions to an elliptic-parabolic system that models the single-phase miscible displacement of one incompressible fluid by another in a porous media. The system is singular and involves quadratic nonlinearity. A partial regularity result is obtained via the Fefferman-Stein inequality.
We establish partial regularity result for vector-valued solutions to second order elliptic system in divergence form. The coefficients safisfies Dini condition respect to $(x,u)$ with growth order lager than 2. We prove $C^1$-regularity of the solutions outside of singular set.
In this paper we consider maximal regularity for the vector-valued quasi-steady linear elliptic problems. The equations are the elliptic equation in the domain and the evolution equations on its boundary. We prove the maximal $L_p$-$L_q$ regularity for these problems and give examples that our results are applicable. The Lopatinskii--Shapiro and the asymptotic Lopatinskii--Shapiro conditions are important to get boundedness of solution operators.
Elliptic problems with additional unknown distributions in boundary conditions are investigated in Besov and Sobolev-Triebel-Lizorkin spaces of low regularity, specifically of an arbitrary negative order. We find that the problems induce Fredholm bounded operators on appropriate pairs of these spaces.
We prove a Brezis--Kato regularity type results for solutions of the higher order nonlinear elliptic equation \[ L u = g(x,u)\qquad\text{in }Ω\] with an elliptic operator $L$ of $2m$ order with variable coefficients and a Carathéodory function $g:Ω\times \mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C}$, where $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ is an open set with $N > 2m$.
We obtain optimal boundary and global regularity estimates for viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear elliptic equations whose ellipticity degenerates at the critical points of a given solution. We show that any solution is $C^{1,α}$ on the boundary of the domain, for an optimal and explicit $α$ given only in terms of the regularity of the boundary datum and the elliptic degeneracy degree, no matter how possibly low is the interior regularity for that class of equations. We also obtain sharp global estimates. Our findings are new even for model equations, involving only a degenerate Laplacian;…
We start in this paper a systematic study of the superpositions of elliptic operators with different orders, mixing classical and fractional scenarios. For concreteness, we focus on the sum of the Laplacian and the fractional Laplacian, and we provide structural results, including existence, maximum principles (both for weak and classical solutions), interior Sobolev regularity and boundary regularity of Lipschitz type.
In this paper, we consider the regularity of solutions to elliptic equation with Grushin's operator. By using the Feynman-Kac formula, we first get the expression of heat kernel, and then by using the properties of heat kernel, the optimal regularity of solutions will be obtained. The novelty of this paper is that the Grushin's operator is a degenerate operator.
We provide the Alexandroff-Bakelman-Pucci estimate and global $C^{1, α}$-regularity for a class of singular/degenerate fully nonlinear elliptic equations. We also derive the existence of a viscosity solution to the Dirichlet problem with the associated operator.
We establish partial regularity for vector-valued solutions to inhomogeneous elliptic systems in divergence form where the coefficients are possibly discontinuous with respect to $x$. More precisely, we assume a VMO-condition with respect to the $x$ and continuity with respect to $u$ and prove Hölder continuity of the solutions outside of singular sets.
In this note we prove an end-point regularity result on the Lp integrability of the second derivatives of solutions to non-divergence form uniformly elliptic equations whose second derivatives are a priori only known to be integrable. The main assumption on the elliptic operator is the Dini continuity of the coefficients. We provide a counterexample showing that the Dini condition is somehow optimal. We also give a counterexample related to the BMO regularity of second derivatives of solutions to elliptic equations.
Using a standard linearization technique and previously obtained microlocal properties for pseudodifferential operators with smooth coefficients, the authors state results of microlocal regularity in generalized Besov spaces for solutions to non linear PDE.
