Regularity of Solutions of Obstacle Problems for Elliptic Equations with Oblique Boundary Conditions

چکیده
Much has been written about various obstacle problems in the context of variational inequalities. In particular, if the obstacle is smooth enough and if the coefficients of associated elliptic operator satisfy appropriate conditions, then the solution of the obstacle problem has continuous first derivatives. For a general class of obstacle problems, we show here that this regularity is attained under minimal smoothness hypotheses on the data and with a one-sided analog of the usual modulus of continuity assumption for the gradient of the obstacle. Our results apply to linear elliptic operators with Hölder continuous coefficients and, more generally, to a large class of fully nonlinear operators and boundary conditions.

Analytic solutions for the Stephen's inverse problem with local boundary conditions including Elliptic and hyperbolic equations
In this paper, two inverse problems of Stephen kind with local (Dirichlet) boundary conditions are investigated. In the first problem only a part of boundary is unknown and in the second problem, the whole of boundary is unknown. For the both of problems, at first, analytic expressions for unknown boundary are presented, then by using these analytic expressions for unknown boundaries and bounda...
متن کاملA Degree Theory for Second Order Nonlinear Elliptic Operators with Nonlinear Oblique Boundary Conditions
In this paper we introduce an integer-valued degree for second order fully nonlinear elliptic operators with nonlinear oblique boundary conditions. We also give some applications to the existence of solutions of certain nonlinear elliptic equations arising from a Yamabe problem with boundary and reflector problems.
متن کاملOn Neumann and oblique derivatives boundary conditions for nonlocal elliptic equations
Inspired by the penalization of the domain approach of Lions & Sznitman, we give a sense to Neumann and oblique derivatives boundary value problems for nonlocal, possibly degenerate elliptic equations. Two different cases are considered: (i) homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in convex, possibly non-smooth and unbounded domains, and (ii) general oblique derivatives boundary conditions in s...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional Nonlinear Boundary Value Problems for Elliptic Equations
Boundary regularity of solutions of the fully nonlinear boundary value problem F(x,u,Du, D2u) = 0 inn, G(x,u, Du) = 0 on dO is discussed for two-dimensional domains Q. The function F is assumed uniformly elliptic and G is assumed to depend (in a nonvacuous manner) on Du. Continuity estimates are proved for first and second derivatives of u under weak hypotheses for smoothness of F, G, and 0. In...
متن کاملThe Study of Some Boundary Value Problems Including Fractional Partial Differential Equations with non-Local Boundary Conditions
In this paper, we consider some boundary value problems (BVP) for fractional order partial differential equations (FPDE) with non-local boundary conditions. The solutions of these problems are presented as series solutions analytically via modified Mittag-Leffler functions. These functions have been modified by authors such that their derivatives are invariant with respect to fractional deriv...
