Abstract
The huge amount of literature about the divergence equation in bounded Lipschitz domains of $\R^n$ ($n\ge2$) is fairly disconnected and even apparently simple problems remain unsolved. We go several steps further in the knowledge of this equation and of some related inequalities. We prove that among its infinitely many solutions there exists a special one obeying elliptic regularity theory. This solution simplifies the definition of the Bogovskii constant $C_B$ and allows us to prove its attainment in smooth domains. We then obtain a universal lower bound for $C_B$ in any Lipschitz domain as well as a non-minimality criterion. As expected, balls are minimisers as the domain varies, although no symmetrisation technique is used. We also analyse ellipsoids and annuli: for the first we improve the (so far) best asymptotic inequality for thinning domains. Finally, we introduce higher-order Bogovskii constants, which lead to a polyharmonic Stokes problem. Not only regularity theory applies without smoothness of the domain when the source has some vanishing traces, but we also prove that balls are again minimisers among Lipschitz domains with the very same Bogovskii constant. Three main challenging open problems are suggested.
We develop an abstract averaging method for equations $Mx=\varepsilon N(x,\varepsilon)$ in Banach spaces. The method applies when the equation can be separated into an averaged compatibility condition and a nonlinear complementary problem, and it allows the principal operator $M$ to be genuinely nonlinear. We prove tha...
For weak solutions to quasilinear degenerate parabolic equations of $p$-Laplace type, a central obstacle in applying the method of intrinsic scaling to prove their H\"{o}lder regularity is the derivation of forward-in-time propagation estimate for the spatial measure of level sets. In this paper, we revisit and overcom...
We study a nonlocal 2-Hessian equation, given by an infimum of linear deformations of the fractional Laplacian, that is, $\inf_{A\in {A}_2}\Delta^s (u\circ A)(A^{-1}x)$. We characterize the class of coefficient matrices ${A}_2$, which determines the behavior of the operator, and provide a detailed geometric description...

We give a detailed proof of interior $W^{2,p}$ regularity for uniformly elliptic equations in nondivergence form \[ a^{ij}(x)D_{ij}u+b^i(x)D_i u=f. \] The leading matrix is assumed to have sufficiently small mean oscillation on the balls under consideration. The proof uses a modern real-variable argument: a constant-co...
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...
We investigate the regularity of viscosity solutions to a class of nonlocal Hamilton-Jacobi equations driven by x-dependent integro-differential operators and coercive superlinear Hamiltonians. We first establish H{\"o}lder regularity for bounded viscosity solutions under general structural and continuity assumptions o...
