Hölder regularity for double divergence form elliptic equations with Morrey data

Aug 2026 · Zeitschrift für Analysis und ihre Anwendungen · 1 citation

Abstract

We establish the regularity properties of adjoint solutions to elliptic equations in double divergence form with variable coefficients and rough forcing terms. More precisely, we consider Dirichlet problems associated with the formal adjoint of second-order elliptic operators in non-divergence form, assuming that the coefficient matrix is uniformly elliptic and Hölder continuous, and that the forcing term belongs to a Morrey space L^{1,\lambda}(\Omega) .The existence and uniqueness of adjoint solutions are established via a duality argument. Under the additional assumption that the coefficients are Hölder continuous, we prove that solutions are locally Hölder continuous. Our results parallel classical regularity theory to adjoint problems in double divergence form with non-constant coefficients and merely integrable data, highlighting the natural role of Morrey spaces in this framework.

Global Lorentz-type regularity for non-convex fully nonlinear elliptic equations with oblique boundary conditions and applications

We establish new global regularity estimates for the Hessian of viscosity solutions to non-convex fully nonlinear elliptic equations with oblique boundary conditions in the setting of weighted Lorentz and Morrey-Lorentz spaces. More precisely, our approach relies on an analysis of the ellipticity coefficients of the go...

Local behavior of solutions to inhomogeneous singular parabolic $p$-Laplace equations

It is known that a major difficulty in proving H\"{o}lder regularity for solutions to quasilinear singular parabolic equations of $p$-Laplace type via the method of intrinsic scaling is to establish the decay estimate of the space-time measure of level sets. In this paper, we consider an inhomogeneous singular paraboli...

Existence of classical solutions to the exterior Dirichlet problem for Hessian quotient equations

This paper studies the exterior Dirichlet problem for Hessian quotient equations with nonconstant right-hand sides. We prove the existence of classical admissible solutions with prescribed asymptotic Hessians and establish convergence of the Hessian at infinity. The main difficulties are obtaining second-order estimate...

Stability of the Riesz-type inequalities under gluing

We establish stability principles under compact gluing for the reverse square-root inequality and the Riesz transform. Below a common Sobolev dimension, the reverse estimate passes from finitely many model manifolds to their connected sum. A boundary-compatible Poisson parametrix also proves the Neumann reverse inequal...

Optimal semigroup estimates and functional calculus for the Laplacian on weighted Sobolev spaces

In this paper, we consider the Laplace operator on the half-space with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. These operators are studied on Sobolev spaces with power weights measuring the distance to the boundary. We prove optimal estimates for the resolvent operators and the corresponding heat semigroups. In addi...

On Cauchy Problems for Parabolic Equations with Rough Coefficients

The presented work investigates the Cauchy problems for parabolic equations in both non-divergence and divergence forms with rough diffusion coefficients, which commonly arise in composite media, financial pricing, and viscous fluids. Under critical regularity settings, we establish the unique solvability in optimal fr...
