Abstract

We study local and global properties of positive solutions to the equation $-\Delta u=u^p+M|\nabla u|^q$ in a domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb R^N$, where $p,q$ are parameters and $M>0$. By constructing a linear operator, we establish the differential inequality containing an auxiliary function. By selecting appropriate auxiliary functions over various regions and employing the maximum principle, we derive the local gradient estimates for all $(p,q)\in \mathbb R^2$, and further establish Liouville-type theorems. As an application, we acquire universal estimates for local solutions of elliptic equations with general nonlinearities. Our results extend partial conclusions established in Bidaut-V\'{e}ron, Garcia-Huidobro and V\'{e}ron [Math. Ann. 378 (1-2) (2020) 13-56].

Liouville-type theorems and universal estimates for semilinear elliptic equations involving the product of the function and its gradient

In this paper, we study local and global properties of positive solutions to the equation $-\Delta u=u^p|\nabla u|^q$ in a domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb R^N$, where $p$ and $q$ are parameters. We introduce a linear operator to construct the differential inequality to obtain gradient estimates, and further establish Liouv...

Maximal Regularity and Existence for Superquadratic Parabolic Hamilton--Jacobi Equations: The Endpoint case

We establish interior maximal $L^{q_c}$-regularity for bounded strong solutions of $u_t-\Delta u+|Du|^\gamma=f$ in $\mathbb{T}^d\times(0,T)$, where $d\geq 2$, $\gamma>2$, and $q_c=(d+2)(\gamma-1)/\gamma$. The estimates are uniform for uniformly bounded families of solutions whose source terms range over a bounded, unif...

Gradient regularity and potential estimates for fractional drift--diffusion equations in the critical and subcritical ranges

We establish scale-invariant interior $C^{1,\alpha}$ estimates for bounded viscosity solutions of $(-\Delta)^su+b\cdot\nabla u=f$ for $s\in[1/2,1)$ with locally H\"older $b$ and $f$. The critical case uses Silvestre's parabolic theorem; the subcritical case uses Schauder estimates and interpolation. Applying this visco...

Gradient estimates for the fractional $p$-Laplacian in the superquadratic regime

We establish gradient potential estimates for solutions obtained as limits of approximations (SOLA) to the fractional $p$-Laplace equation with finite signed Radon measure data. Under the assumptions $n\ge2$, $p>2$, $0p-1$, every SOLA belongs to $W^{1,p-1}_{\mathrm{loc}}$, and its weak gradient satisfies a Wolff potent...

A nonlinear Li-Yau inequality and its consequences

We prove a sharp nonlinear version of the celebrated Li-Yau inequality for positive solutions of the normalized parabolic $p$-Laplacian equation $u_t = \Delta u + (p-2)|\nabla u|^{-2}\nabla^2u(\nabla u,\nabla u)$, $1<p<\infty$, on a closed Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature, the equation being interpr...

Gradient self-improvement for mixed local and nonlocal parabolic equations

We introduce a new method for studying gradient higher integrability for mixed local and nonlocal parabolic equations. More precisely, for $p>2d/(d+2)$ and $s \in (0,1)$, we prove that if the inhomogeneity $F \in L^{p(1+\sigma)}_{\mathrm{loc}}$ for some $\sigma>0$, then every weak solution satisfies $\nabla u \in L^{p(...
