چکیده

A bstract . We consider cooperative, uniformly elliptic systems, with bounded coefficients and coupling in the zeroth-order terms. We establish two analogues of Harnack’s inequality for this class of systems: A weak version is obtained under fairly general conditions, while imposing an irreducibility condition on the coupling coefficients we obtain a stronger version of the inequality. This irreducibility condition is also necessary for the existence of a Harnack constant for this class of systems. A Harnack inequality is also obtained for a class of superharmonic functions.

A New Proof of Harnack’s Inequality for Elliptic Partial Differential Equations in Divergence Form

In this paper we give a new proof of Harnack’s inequality for elliptic operator in divergence form. We imitate the proof given by Caffarelli for operators in nondivergence form.

Local Bounds, Harnack’s Inequality and Hölder Continuity for Divergence Type Elliptic Equations with Non-standard Growth

We obtain a Harnack type inequality for solutions to elliptic equations in divergence form with non-standard p(x)-type growth. A model equation is the inhomogeneous p(x)-Laplacian. Namely, ∆p(x)u := div ( |∇u|p(x)−2∇u ) = f(x) in Ω, for which we prove Harnack’s inequality when f ∈ Lq0 (Ω) if max{1, N p1 } < q0 ≤ ∞. The constant in Harnack’s inequality depends on u only through ‖|u|p(x)‖p2−p1 L1...

Some local fixed point results under $C$-class functions with applications to coupled elliptic systems

The main objective of the paper is to state newly fixed point theorems for set-valued mappings in the framework of 0-complete partial metric spaces which speak about a location of a fixed point with respect to an initial value of the set-valued mapping by using some $C$-class functions. The results proved herein generalize, modify and unify some recent results of the existing literature. As an ...

On the Axiomatic Approach to Harnack’s Inequality in Doubling Quasi-metric Spaces

We introduce a novel approach towards Harnack’s inequality in the context of spaces of homogeneous type. This approach, based on the socalled critical density property and doubling properties for weights, avoids the explicit use of covering lemmas and BMO.
