چکیده

We consider a family of elliptic equations introduced in the context of traffic congestion. They have the form ∇·(∇F(∇u)) = f , where F is a convex function which vanishes inside some convex set and is elliptic outside. Under some natural assumptions on F and f , we prove that the function ∇F(∇u) is continuous in any dimension, extending a previous result valid only in dimension 2 [14]. Résumé. Dans ce papier, nous considérons une famille d’équations elliptiques introduites dans le contexte d’un problème de transport congestionné. Ces équations sont de la forme ∇ · (∇F(∇u)) = f , où F est une fonction convexe qui vaut zéro sur un ensemble convexe et est uniformément elliptique au dehors de cet ensemble. Sous des conditions naturelles sur F et f , on démontre que la fonction ∇F(∇u) est continue en toutes dimensions, ce qui étend un résultat précèdent en dimension 2 [14].

Congested traffic dynamics, weak flows and very degenerate elliptic equations

Starting from a model of traffic congestion, we introduce a minimal-flow–like variational problem whose solution is characterized by a very degenerate elliptic PDE. We precisely investigate the relations between these two problems, which can be done by considering some weak notion of flow for a related ODE. We also prove regularity results for the degenerate elliptic PDE, which enables us in so...

Fefferman–poincare Inequality and Regularity for Quasilinear Subelliptic Equations

This talk is a survey on some recent results concerning local regularity for weak solutions to some quasilinear degenerate elliptic equations. This topic is a very classical one in the theory of PDE and we start by recalling contributions given by many authors. Early results go back to the outstanding papers by De Giorgi [12], Stampacchia [29], Ladyzhenskaia and Uraltzeva [18] between the end o...

Abstract. We give dimension-free regularity conditions for a class of possibly degenerate sub-elliptic equations in the Heisenberg group exhibiting super-quadratic growth in the horizontal gradient; this solves an issue raised in [40], where only dimension dependent bounds for the growth exponent are given. We also obtain explicit a priori local regularity estimates, and cover the case of the h...

An Excess-decay Result for a Class of Degenerate Elliptic Equations

We consider a family of degenerate elliptic equations of the form div(∇F (∇u)) = f , where F ∈ C is a convex function which is elliptic outside a ball. We prove an excess-decay estimate at points where ∇u is close to a nondegenerate value for F . This result applies to degenerate equations arising in traffic congestion, where we obtain continuity of∇u outside the degeneracy, and to anisotropic ...

Interior Regularity of Fully Nonlinear Degenerate Elliptic Equations I: Bellman Equations with Constant Coefficients

This is the first of a series of papers on the interior regularity of fully nonlinear degenerate elliptic equations of second order. We consider here a stochastic optimal control problem in a domain, in which the diffusion coefficients, drift coefficients and discount factor are independent of the spatial variables. Under appropriate assumptions, for k = 0, 1, when the terminal and running payo...

Compactness Methods for Hölder Estimates of Certain Degenerate Elliptic Equations

In this paper we obtain the interior C regularity of the quasilinear elliptic equations of divergence form. Our basic tools are the elementary local L estimates and weak Harnack inequality for second-order linear elliptic equations, and the compactness method.
