Lp SPECTRAL THEORY OF HIGHER-ORDER ELLIPTIC DIFFERENTIAL OPERATORS

On the maximal Lp-regularity of parabolic mixed order systems

We study maximal Lp-regularity for a class of pseudodifferential mixed order systems on a space-time cylinder R×R or X×R, where X is a closed smooth manifold. To this end we construct a calculus of Volterra pseudodifferential operators and characterize the parabolicity of a system by the invertibility of certain associated symbols. A parabolic system is shown to induce isomorphisms between suit...

The Morley element for fourth order elliptic equations in any dimensions

In this paper, the well-known nonconforming Morley element for biharmonic equations in two spatial dimensions is extended to any higher dimensions in a canonical fashion. The general -dimensional Morley element consists of all quadratic polynomials defined on each -simplex with degrees of freedom given by the integral average of the normal derivative on each -subsimplex and the integral average...

Concentration Phenomena for Fourth-order Elliptic Equations with Critical Exponent

We consider the nonlinear equation ∆u = u n+4 n−4 − εu with u > 0 in Ω and u = ∆u = 0 on ∂Ω. Where Ω is a smooth bounded domain in Rn, n ≥ 9, and ε is a small positive parameter. We study the existence of solutions which concentrate around one or two points of Ω. We show that this problem has no solutions that concentrate around a point of Ω as ε approaches 0. In contrast to this, we construct ...

Bounds on Layer Potentials with Rough Inputs for Higher Order Elliptic Equations

In this paper we establish square-function estimates on the double and single layer potentials with rough inputs for divergence form elliptic operators, of arbitrary even order 2m, with variable t-independent coefficients in the upper half-space.
