Elliptic Boundary-Value Problems

In the first part of this chapter we focus on the question of well-posedness of boundary-value problems for linear partial differential equations of elliptic type. The second part is devoted to the construction and the error analysis of finite difference schemes for these problems. It will be assumed throughout that the coefficients in the equation, the boundary data and the resulting solution ...

Nonlinear Elliptic Boundary Value Problems

It is the object of the present note to present a new nonlinear version of the orthogonal projection method for proving the existence of solutions of nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems. The key point in this method is the application of a new general theorem concerning the solvability of nonlinear functional equations in a reflexive Banach space involving operators which may not be cont...

Time-Reversal and Elliptic Boundary Value Problems

In this paper, we prove that there exists a unique, bounded continuous weak solution to the Dirichlet boundary value problem for a general class of second-order elliptic operators with singular coefficients, which does not necessarily have the maximum principle. Our method is probabilistic. The time reversal of symmetric Markov processes and the theory of Dirichlet forms play a crucial role in ...
